Multiping scale #53

How may host can we ping using multi ping. I tried with 1000 host. Ping was successful but CPU utilisation was more than 100%? Is there a known issue?

Hi @Huthesh 👋

The multiping function can take an infinite number of hosts. By default, it performs 50 pings simultaneously. If you find that your CPU load is too high, you can influence this parameter using the concurrent_tasks option.

# Performs 25 pings simultaneously instead of 50
hosts = multiping(['10.0.0.5', '127.0.0.1', '::1', ...], concurrent_tasks=25)
