## What it is
NBping is a Rust-based ping tool that supports concurrent pinging of multiple addresses with real-time data updates and visual chart displays. It also offers TCP ping, IP range pinging, and a Prometheus exporter mode for Grafana visualization.

## Use cases
- ping multiple hosts concurrently with live charts
- monitor network latency in real time from the terminal
- run TCP ping against a target
- ping an IP address range
- export ping metrics to Prometheus and visualize in Grafana
- save ping results to an output file

## When to choose
- you need a modern visual alternative to the standard ping command
- you want to ping many hosts at once with real-time graphs
- you want ping latency metrics exposed in Prometheus format

## When to avoid
- you need a scriptable library rather than a CLI tool
- you need advanced network diagnostics beyond ping such as traceroute or packet capture
- you require a GUI application

## Facets
