Re: suggestion to nping

Hi Andreas,

I've just commited a patch that should let you specify "--count 0" or
"-c0" so Nping runs almost indefinitely, (for 2^32 rounds actually). You
probably want to combine this with the --rate or --delay options to
adjust how often packets get sent. I hope this helps.

Regards,

Luis MartinGarcia.
