go-ping is an ICMP echo (ping) library for Go, allowing programs to send ICMP Echo Requests, receive replies, and collect RTT statistics. It is now deprecated and unmaintained; users should use the actively maintained fork prometheus-community/pro-bing.
Use cases
- send icmp ping from a go program
- measure network round-trip latency in go
- monitor host reachability with icmp echo
- build a custom ping command-line tool
- collect packet loss and rtt statistics programmatically
When to choose
- you need ICMP ping functionality in a Go application
- you want unprivileged UDP-based pinging on Linux
- you need callback-driven ping statistics like min/avg/max RTT
When to avoid
- starting a new project - use prometheus-community/pro-bing instead
- you need long-term support or bug fixes
- you need TCP or HTTP health checks rather than ICMP
