fping is similar to ping in that it sends ICMP echo probes to network hosts, but it is optimized for better performance when pinging multiple hosts. This useful tool has been around for ages and is considered a standard for network diagnostics and statistics. Suitable-repl describes it simply, "fping -g x.x.x.x/24 pings the subnet."
