Requires Python 3.5. Must be run with root/administrator privileges.
Can be used as script/standalone or in other projects.
ping(host: str, *, payload_size: int=DEFAULT_PAYLOAD_SIZE, count: int=
DEFAULT_COUNT, timeout: float=DEFAULT_TIMEOUT, quiet: bool=False, debug: bool=False) -> PingResult:
PingResult = collections.namedtuple("PingResult",["send", "received", "lost",
"loss_per", "min", "max", "avg", "raw_times"])Where:
- host: Host
- payload_size: pure size in bytes (without 8byte ICMP Header)
- count: How often to ping
- timeout: How long to wait for each response
- quiet: If true print results
- debug: If true print extra information about received IP/ICMP Header
Returns:
- send: How many ICMP Echo-Requests where send
- received: How many ICMP Echo-Requests where received
- lost: How many ICMP Echo-Requests where lost
- loss_per: Loss percentage
- min: Shortest approx. RTT
- max: Longest approx. RTT
- avg: Average approx. RTT
- raw_times: list of all times (None if packet timed out)
All times are in milli-seconds.
