Use the built-in functions or build your own, you have the +choice! + + + - Ready-to-use: icmplib offers ready-to-use functions such as the + most popular ones: ping, multiping and traceroute. An extensive + documentation also helps you get started. + - Modern: This library uses the latest mechanisms offered by Python + 3.7+ and is fully object-oriented. + - Fast: Each class and function has been designed and optimized to + deliver the best performance. Some functions are also asynchronous + like the async_ping and async_multiping functions. You can ping + the world in seconds! + - Powerful: Use the library without root privileges, set the traffic + class of ICMP packets, customize their payload, send broadcast + requests and more! + - Evolutive: Easily build your own classes and functions with ICMPv4 + and ICMPv6 sockets. + - Seamless integration of IPv6: Use IPv6 the same way you use IPv4. + - Cross-platform: Optimized for Linux, macOS and Windows. The library + automatically manages the specificities of each system. + - No dependency: icmplib is a pure Python implementation of the ICMP + protocol. It does not rely on any external dependency. |
