Each task sends a ping to one specific device, if there's a timeout it will be retried according to the configuration. The default configuration is here: https://github.com/openwisp/openwisp-monitoring/blob/master/openwisp_monitoring/check/classes/ping.py#L20-L41 (Count: 5, Interval: 25, Timeout: 800, consult the fping help for more information about each option).
There can be multiple processes running ping tasks, so multiple ping operations can be performed simultaneously, but they act on different devices. Each ping task operates only on 1 device.
