IPv6 ICMP probing support

Open valeriansaliou opened this issue 4 years ago • 3 comments

Due to the replacement of fastping-rs with ping, ICMPv6 support might have been dropped on some platforms.

A fork of the unmaintained ping library, and a full rework into a cleaner library would be much needed, adding support for ICMP IPv6 on all platforms.

I am wondering under which platforms ipv6 is supported. Even with the Docker Image it is not working.

It only applies to macOS platforms. The Docker image user does not have permissions to send ICMP packets from non-privileged UNIX users at the kernel level, this is normal, so ICMP will not work at all under Docker.
