Add option for packet size

skoehler opened this issue · 0 comments

When sending ICMP ping packets, it makes sense to have an adjustable packet size. The default packet size is quite small and may not be representative of the user experience. Online calls with video typically have UDP packets as large as 1000 bytes and more. In particular, larger packets have a significantly higher probability to be dropped, e.g. on a Wifi network.

The standard ping command has a -s parameter to adjust the packets size. Please add such an option to gping.
