ping interval timer was not very broken, but very unintelligible.
Though I remade the code to use leaky bucket logic, which
is the most transparent one. Anyway, contribution by Eric is
the most important one since the previous release.
Short theory of operation: option -i (interval) sets rate r=1/interval pps,
option -l (preload) sets burst size of l packets. So, ping sends
at most r*t+l packets for an arbitrary interval t.
Default values: l=1 and for non-flood case: r=1pps, for flood r=infinity.
Nice? Exact algorithm is:
Let N(t) be l/r=l*i initially and N(t) grow continuously with time as:
N(t+delta) = min{l*i, N(t) + delta}
Packet can be transmitted only at the time t_* when 1/r=i <= N(t_*)
and in this case N(t) jumps:
N(t_* + 0) = N(t_* - 0) - i.
When interval is zero, algo degenerates allowing to send any amount
of messages. In this case we modify it using l as limit on amount
of unanswered requests and waiting for 10msec, when something is not
answered. Note that the last thing (10msec) is just to be compatible with
BSD manual pages. BSD ping is simply not able to avoid delay technically,
we are able now.
In result we got some new facilities:
* "-f -l 100" becomes very aggressive, in fact on good link
it holds permanently 100 packets in flight, which is very different
of earlier bevaviour (one packet in flight).
* -f and -i are not incompatible more. In fact, "-f -i 1" is equivalent
to plain ping, only output is different (dotted). Essentially,
change of output format is the only effect. "ping -i 0" is flood
printing output in normal format.
Moved some parts of code to ping_common.c. Common part is not fully
trivial now. :-)
* ping: Ian Lynagh <[email protected]>, larger and dynamic dup detector.
Also, Ian submitted two large patches, one fixing formatting, another
doing something with signedness/longness. Not now...
Later note: found not working. x + 7 / 8 :-). Sorry... dubious, withdrawn.

* By Pekka Savola <[email protected]>
- SIOCGSTAMP/SO_TIMESTAMP are sensitive to bug in kernel.
When get_fast_time != gettimeofday (f.e. timestampless x86),
returned stamp can be out of sync with gettimeofday.
Workaround is not to use SIOCGSTAMP/SO_TIMESTAMP on such systems.

* Chris Evans <[email protected]>
- ping: possible buffer overflow in pr_addr().

* Bug in ping -f, introduced with SO_RCVTIMEO. me.
* llsqrt() (ping, ping6) was wrong yet. me.
[000310]
* Print mean deviation of RTT in ping/ping6.
* Use SIOCGSTAMP in ping/ping6. Old behaviour calculating
true user-to-user latency is restored with option -U.
Reason for this stupid change is mainly political; people
wonder why freebsd has twice less latency on loopback.
If to follow along this line, we have to print rtt equal to 0. 8)
[ LATER NOTE: actually, the change is _right_ without any doubts.
Ping has another bug: nameresolver is blocking, so that
when it dies not respond, ping shows evenly increasing by 1 sec
RTT. It is very confusing (look through linux-kernel maillists
to count number of people, who were cheated by misconfigured dns). ]
* Use SO_RCVTIMEO instead of poll() with ping/ping6 -f.
* Added -V option to arping/ping/ping6/traceroute6/rdisc
to print snapshot number.

* rdisc: ugly bug in getting interface list. me.
* ping/ping6: ping -i N, N>=3 did not work. Jeff Jonson <[email protected]>
* ping/ping6: microsecond rtt measurements. me.
[000120]
* ping/ping6: non-zero exit code even without -w.

* Option "-i" to ping/ping6 takes fractional time now, so that
"ping -i 0.3 xxx" pings each 300 msec. The idea is by
Marc Boucher <[email protected]>
* alpha/glibc-2.1 alignment problems in ping are fixed (struct timeval
was wrongly aligned).
[990915]
* ping/ping6 worked only with kernels 2.3.15+ in 990824.

* tftpd is added. It uses MSG_CONFIRM to confirm arp entries.
* ping6: workaround for bug in some egcs versions.
[990610]
* ping: output buffer was too small for full sized ping.
* ping: silly restriction on ping size is removed.
[990530]
* short man pages (Oleg M. Shumsky <[email protected]>)
* ping6: get and print hop limit of reply packets (ME)
* rdisc deletes routes before exit with -TERM
* ping/ping6: option -w TIMEOUT
* arping: exit with error, if received no replies in normal
(not DAD and not unsilicited ARP) mode.
