'ping packets'. It is intended for use in network monitoring applications

or applications that would otherwise need to fork ping(1) frequently.

Version 1.4.0, a second example application, noping, provides an
|
|
|
|
ncurses-based front-end to liboping. Using curses windows it is able
|
|
|
|
to display the ping statistics online 'live'. An aberrant behavior
|
|
|
|
detection highlights all round-trip times that are unusually high or
|
|
|
|
low.
