sping probes one or more hosts and keeps a live view of each connection:
latency, jitter, loss, a quality grade with its trend, and outage timing.                                   It reads the network context of each target (interface, source address, gateway). When it watches a single target, it also probes the local gateway and a reference internet address alongside it, so that an outage is attributed to where it most likely lies: the target, the upstream network or the local network.
                                                                                                              Features include:                                                                                           - single-target live view, multi-target table and batch mode
- ping-compatible classic output and exit codes, and NDJSON output
- unprivileged ICMP sockets on Linux; TCP connect probes (--tcp PORT)
- destination unreachable reported with the router that sent it
- experimental outage diagnosis: other IP family, TCP 443/80, trace
- sping --ip: the host's addresses, sources and gateway at a glance
                                                                                                              Network traffic beyond the target:                                                                          While monitoring a single target, sping also pings the local gateway and a reference address, 1.1.1.1 by default (--wan-probe), every 3 seconds.
Only "sping --ip --external" contacts a STUN server (stun.cloudflare.com by default, or the one given);
"sping --ip" alone sends nothing.
                                                                                                              Why this package is useful, and how it relates to other packages:                                           iputils-ping and fping report each reply; gping draws latency as a graph;                                   prettyping colours ping's output; mtr combines traceroute and ping.                                         sping keeps one live summary per target and interprets it: it tells a target that stopped answering apart from a local or upstream outage, and says when the connection recovers.
                                                                                                              Packaging and maintenance:                                                                                  I am the upstream author. I intend to package it within the Debian Rust Team, in debcargo-conf, and I am looking for a sponsor. Every dependency is already in unstable (socket2 0.5 through rust-socket2-0.5). The package will ship the sping binary with its man page and bash, zsh and fish completions.
