Package: fping Version: 4.2-1 Severity: wishlist In --loop or --count modes for example:
# fping --timestamp -6 -A -d --count 10 2a00:1450:400a:802::3 2a00:1450:400a:802::3 (2a00:1450:400a:802::3) : xmt/rcv/%loss = 10/0/100% # Adding -u or -a doesn't help. Adding -u -a (both), is not supported. I would expect something more useful, i.e.: # fping --timestamp -6 -A -d --count 10 2a00:1450:400a:802::3 [1554914998.643838] 2a00:1450:400a:802::3 (2a00:1450:400a:802::3) : [0], 64 bytes, timeout, 1000ms (nan avg, 100% loss) [1554914999.645784] 2a00:1450:400a:802::3 (2a00:1450:400a:802::3) : [1], 64 bytes, timeout, 1000ms (nan avg, 100% loss) [1554915000.646059] 2a00:1450:400a:802::3 (2a00:1450:400a:802::3) : [2], 64 bytes, timeout, 1000ms (nan avg, 100% loss) [1554915001.647150] 2a00:1450:400a:802::3 (2a00:1450:400a:802::3) : [3], 64 bytes, timeout, 1000ms (nan avg, 100% loss) [1554915002.647459] 2a00:1450:400a:802::3 (2a00:1450:400a:802::3) : [4], 64 bytes, timeout, 1000ms (nan avg, 100% loss) [1554915003.648428] 2a00:1450:400a:802::3 (2a00:1450:400a:802::3) : [5], 64 bytes, timeout, 1000ms (nan avg, 100% loss) [1554915004.649674] 2a00:1450:400a:802::3 (2a00:1450:400a:802::3) : [6], 64 bytes, timeout, 1000ms (nan avg, 100% loss) [1554915005.650596] 2a00:1450:400a:802::3 (2a00:1450:400a:802::3) : [7], 64 bytes, timeout, 1000ms (nan avg, 100% loss) [1554915006.651561] 2a00:1450:400a:802::3 (2a00:1450:400a:802::3) : [8], 64 bytes, timeout, 1000ms (nan avg, 100% loss) [1554915007.652256] 2a00:1450:400a:802::3 (2a00:1450:400a:802::3) : [9], 64 bytes, timeout, 1000ms (nan avg, 100% loss) 2a00:1450:400a:802::3 (2a00:1450:400a:802::3) : xmt/rcv/%loss = 10/0/100% # or something like this. The main benefit is when the packet loss is interminent, as the output is then easier to be ingested into external monitoring systems.
