[Feature Request] Stop pinging if N hosts are reachable

Open mirfatif opened this issue 5 years ago • 3 comments

In combination with --reachable=N it would save time on large networks. E.g. with fping --retry=5 --timeout=200 --reachable=2 --generate 192.168.1.0/24 if router responds at 192.168.1.1 and any other host at DHCP assigned IP - say 192.168.1.10 - do not retry and wait for timeout on other hosts.

I have created a new pull request #260 with complete copy of the code and a corresponding test case

@mirfatif: Can this issue be closed? The option -X, --fast-reachable seems to implement the requested feature.

I'm not currently using fping. If the functionality has been added, please close.
