Hi @samuel

I would like to use this package to monitor some interfaces using ICMP. A possible scenario is: a batch of 15 pings executed every 3 seconds (3 seconds delay between two consecutive batches). However pyping, without forcing a specific timeout value, is not possible to do so, because would needs some enhancements:

bind to a specific source IP address
parallel or rapid asynchronous pings

Is any of the above on your bucket list at the moment?

Cheers, Mircea

Actually, I recently did a from-scratch re-implementation of a ping for python, which has been specifically designed to monitor large numbers of IP addresses in an asynchronous manner. It also takes care of retries for you. Maybe it is what you are looking for? You can find it here: https://github.com/romana/multi-ping
