This module implements a very fast and relatively flexible ping (ping as in icmp echo request).
This module allows you to quickly send ipv4 and ipv6 pings at a defined rate to whole address ranges. It is fully event-driven (doesn't block the perl interpreter) and can easily generate hundreds of thousands of pings per second. Target specification is done by specifying one or more address ranges, to which pings will be distributed according to a least-load principle. A command line utility (fastping) is included.
