- How may pings are sent by fping to each host, by default? If I understand what the man page says, fping will send several before giving up. If fping gets a reply from the first, does it continue to send more?
fping sends 4 ping probes: One initial probe, and 3 retries.
Is it correct to say that as soon as fping gets a reply back from the server, it considers that server available and marks it as such? Is it also correct to conclude that it takes 4 unanswered pings before Hobbit will consider a system unreachable?
