Multiping #43

Dear Valentin, Can you add to a icmplib library function receive MAC address during multiping? Thanks.

Hi @AzPyCoder,

I don't see the case for retrieving the MAC address during a ping, knowing that it is only useful for machines on the same network (for machines outside your network, you would see the MAC address of your gateway). In addition, it is difficult to access this information, especially in IPv6 where the Ethernet header is not accessible in Python.

So if you want to retrieve the MAC addresses, I recommend that you consult the arp table of your machine after the multiping.

Sorry for not being able to help you further.
