Overview

Package ping contains the implementation of the ICMP and IPv6-ICMP transport protocols for use in ping. To use it in the networking stack, this package must be added to the project, and activated on the stack by passing ping.ProtocolName (or "ping") and/or ping.ProtocolName6 (or "ping6") as one of the transport protocols when calling stack.New(). Then endpoints can be created by passing ping.ProtocolNumber or ping.ProtocolNumber6 as the transport protocol number when calling Stack.NewEndpoint().
