Thanks for this!



I can see this tool being useful for stress-testing some of my embedded systems (with Blitzping running on a PC). I'll keep a note of it for later use.



Do you foresee this being added to the standard Debian repositories, to reach a wider audience?


You're welcome!

Yes, I do want to eventually add it to various package repositories (including Debian's); I am waiting for the project to get to a stable and feature-complete milestone before submitting it there, however.
