   6           fping is a ping(1) like program which uses the Internet Control Message Protocol
   7           (ICMP) echo request to determine if a host is up. fping is different from ping in
   8           that you can specify any number of hosts on the command line, or specify a file
   9           containing the lists of hosts to ping. Instead of trying one host until it timeouts
  10           or replies, fping will send out a ping packet and move on to the next host in a
  11           round-robin fashion. If a host replies, it is noted and removed from the list of
  12           hosts to check. If a host does not respond within a certain time limit and/or retry
  13           limit it will be considered unreachable.
