fping is an open source and command line based application that allows its users to send ICMP echo probes to network hosts, similar to the ping command.
fping is very similar to ping but it outperforms it when it has to work with multiple hosts.
fping is a cross-platform application that can be used on multiple platforms, including Mac OS X.
How to install and run: Unarchive, open a Terminal window, go to fping's folder and run the following commands from the command line:
