ICMP Send Burts vs. Send then Wait and ICMP size

[danfoxley]

As an active WorldPing customer and looking forward to the new version and features. Assuming this is the new location for https://github.com/raintank/worldping-app

See community post, where I mentioned:

"I notice WorldPing does 5x ICMP requests then wait for reply. Another tool we use does 1x ICMP request then wait for reply, 5x. We have a set of remote destinations that don’t like the 5x request and reports 1 out of five drop on most polling cycles.

..... adjust this functionality and go to request>reply, instead of 5x request burst? ..... Is there anything to WP using 18 byte vs. some other size ICMP request size?

@mem does this issue belong in the api repo?

@rdubrock work is needed in both, but it's good to have here for visibility and updates.

The necessary work for this is done and released, but it's missing support in the frontend.

Still missing support in the frontend.

I believe just adding the packetCount setting from here is what's needed
