* Package name : paping Version : 1.6.0 Upstream Contact: Rony Joao de Sousa <[email protected]> * URL : https://github.com/ronyjdesousa/paping/ * License : MIT Programming Lang: C, C++ Description : TCP connectivity and service availability testing utility paping is a utility for testing TCP/IP network connectivity using TCP connections instead of ICMP echo requests. . It can be used to verify remote service availability, test firewall behavior, measure TCP connection response times, and validate accessibility of IPv4 and IPv6 TCP ports. . Unlike general-purpose network troubleshooting tools, paping focuses exclusively on TCP connectivity testing, providing continuous and lightweight connection monitoring with behavior similar to ping(8), but targeting TCP services directly. Its narrow and predictable scope makes it suitable for operational troubleshooting in environments where the use of broader network assessment tools may be restricted by security policies.
