I've seen fping for both Windows and Linux platforms (good for, say,
pinging an entire subnet), but I haven't seen an open source version of
hrping. Anyone have any suggestions?

hrping, like fping, can send out multiple ping packets at the same time,
but it's got some cool features, like echoing back to you some verbose
information about the ICMP reply.
e.g.
hrping -t 1000 4.2.2.1 -S
Using source IP address 75.208.36.98 to send packets
Pinging 1000 with 64 bytes data (92 bytes IP):

(fping for Linux sorta does this summary stuff okay, but not quite the
same on the Windows port. Interestingly, the -g option in fping works
well in Linux, but not Windows)
