  Description     : simple but powerful ICMP echo (ping) library for Go

Library for sending ICMP Echo Request packet(s) and waiting for their
Echo Reply responses. Both traditional ICMP ping (requiring raw socket
access) and unprivileged UDP ping are supported.

This package would be a required build-dep of smokeping_prober, which is
a Prometheus exporter for smokeping-style metrics. The go-ping library
will also likely be useful for other projects.

I will co-maintain this package as part of the Debian Go Team. Benjamin
