+A tool to quickly ping N number of hosts to determine their reachability
+without flooding the network.
+
+     fping is different from ping in that you can specify any number of
+	 hosts on the command line, or specify a file containing the lists
+	 of hosts to ping. Instead of trying one host until it timeouts or
+	 replies, fping will send out a ping packet and move on to the next
+	 host in a round-robin fashion. If a host replies, it is noted and
+	 removed from the list of hosts to check. If a host does not respond
+	 within a certain time limit and/or retry limit it will be considered
+	 unreachable. 
+
+     Unlike ping, fping is meant to be used in scripts and its
+     output is easy to parse.
