Also install fping

Open auchri opened this issue 6 years ago • 3 comments

fping is a program to send ICMP echo probes to network hosts, similar to ping, but much better performing when pinging multiple hosts. fping has a long long story: Roland Schemers did publish a first version of it in 1992 and it has established itself since then as a standard tool.

Can be used by turning it on in the phpIpam setting, improves ping performance a lot

Hi, Thanks for your contribution! Please remind me why do you need to add this symlink? (I guess phpipam is using /bin/fping and this is why, but please confirm). Also, would you mind rewording a bit your PR (such as "Improve ICMP perfs by installing fping")? I'll definitely merge it then.

Hi, sorry, I forgot of this PR.

Yes, phpipam uses /bin/fping by default.

Also, would you mind rewording a bit your PR (such as "Improve ICMP perfs by installing fping")?

Please use the image

method and change the wording yourself, I would have to clone the repo to do is 😉
