Net::Oping version 1.02 ======================= ICMP latency measurement module using the oping library. DESCRIPTION This Perl module is a high-level interface to the oping library. Its purpose it to send "ICMP ECHO_REQUEST" packets (also known as "ping") to a host and measure the time that elapses until the reception of an "ICMP ECHO_REPLY" packet (also known as "pong"). If no such packet is received after a certain timeout the host is considered to be unreachable. The used "oping" library supports "ping"ing multiple hosts in parallel and works with IPv4 and IPv6 transparently. Other advanced features that are provided by the underlying library, such as setting the data sent or configuring the time of live (TTL) are not yet supported by this interface. INSTALLATION This module is compiled and installed in the standard Perl way: perl Makefile.PL make make test make install DEPENDENCIES This module requires the "oping" library to be installed.
