Erik Auerswald d312a278d5 Test ping to "all IPv6 nodes" multicast address 
Any Echo Response packet uses a different source address than
used for the target, because it is not allowed to use a multicast
address as source.  This results in extra output in a specific
format on standard error.

This should work, because IPv6 requires multicast support, and
every IPv6 node is supposed to join the "all nodes" multicast
group, including the node the test runs on.  It at least works
on my Ubuntu 20.04 LTS system.

fping

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.

Current maintainer:
David Schweikert <david@schweikert.ch>

Website:
https://fping.org/

Mailing-list:
https://groups.google.com/group/fping-users

Installation

If you want to install fping from source, proceed as follows:

  1. Run ./autogen.sh (only if you got the source from Github).
  2. Run ./configure with the correct arguments. (see: ./configure --help)
  3. Run make; make install.
  4. Make fping either setuid, or, if under Linux: sudo setcap cap_net_raw,cap_net_admin+ep fping

If you can't run fping as root or can't use the cap_net_raw capability, you can also run fping in unprivileged mode. This works on MacOS and also on Linux, provided that your GID is included in the range defined in /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ping_group_range. This is particularly useful for running fping in rootless / unprivileged containers. The --fwmark option needs root or cap_net_admin. setuid will not work for --fwmark.

Usage

Have a look at the fping(8) manual page for usage help. (fping -h will also give a minimal help output.)
