For comparison, I've written a private version of ping that only does floodping: # time ~joern/floodping -c1000000 192.168.0.20 PING 192.168.1.20 (192.168.1.20): 1 data bytes --- 192.168.1.20 ping statistics --- 1000000 packets transmitted real 0m7.293s user 0m1.414s sys 0m5.882s Tested on the same machine. floodping doesn't test for errors or received packets, it just sends them as fast as possible. Still, that's not a reason for regular ping to be 2000x slower. Strange that there are no big changes in ping used in RH9 and todays rawhide ping. The changes are rather cosmetic and should not affect the transfer speed. Will look at it closer. |
