List of addresses to test. One of them must be address of local internet interface. This | ||
local address is used for bind and listening on for unicast packets. It's also used to determine | ||
which interface should be used for sending multicast replies. | ||
.PP | ||
When using \fBomping\fR for fault isolation, it should first be run against local internet | ||
interface only, to verify that the local network interface is up and running, and firewall | ||
is correctly configured. This mode is available by entering only local IP address. | ||
