flood_ping
Flood Ping Host · Risk: read
Sends a burst of ICMP echo requests as fast as possible to a target host or IP (/tool flood-ping). Use to stress-test packet loss and measure raw round-trip latency under maximum-rate load rather than at a timed interval; the run terminates after count packets (default 1000) so it does not stream indefinitely. Returns sent/received packet counts and min/avg/max round-trip times. Optional: size (packet size in bytes), interface (outgoing interface), src_address (source IP address to use).
