Instead of trying one host until it timeouts + or replies, fping will send out a ping packet and move on to the next host in a + round-robin fashion. If a host replies, it is noted and removed from the list of + hosts to check. If a host does not respond within a certain time limit and/or retry + limit it will be considered unreachable. |
