About Ring Ring is a ping-like utility written specifically for inclusion in scripts. Its output is either an integer enumeration or the round trip time in milliseconds. Its simple output is easy to parse and easy to interpret. Since it uses libping, ring always returns a value.
Ring is also a great utility for network troubleshooting.
This release adds a function for every boolean function in the library which returns the round trip time in milliseconds. Ring has been updated to support this functionality.
