  • Flood ping app?

    From David Lesher@wb8foz@panix.com to comp.mobile.android on Tue Feb 24 16:06:47 2026

    I'm seeking an app for flood ping testing. Is there anything
    in the Play Store I should use?

    Not a flood ping as such, but I use an app called "ping" by Hamed Afshar
    which does allow a ping to run indefinitely. I suspect you'd need to be rooted to do it from a shell ...

    I need flood ping to stress-test the local cabling. I can do it trivially
    with a *nix laptop:

    ping -f

    Outputs packets as fast as they come back or
    one hundred times per second, whichever is more. For every
    ECHO_REQUEST sent a period ``.'' is printed, while for every
    ECHO_REPLY received a backspace is printed.


    But I'd rather use my phone and a USB-C -> RJ45 adapter.

    Well - becoming root on a Fedora box is possible.
