Description: # 2ping - A bi-directional ping utility
https://www.finnie.org/software/2ping/
## About
2ping is a bi-directional ping utility.
It uses 3-way pings (akin to TCP SYN, SYN/ACK, ACK) and after-the-fact state comparison between a 2ping listener and a 2ping client to determine which direction packet loss occurs.
## Installation
2ping requires Python 3 version 3.5 or higher.
To install:
sudo python3 setup.py install
Python 3 stdlib is the only requirement for base functionality, but 2ping can utilize the following modules if available:
* [distro](https://pypi.org/project/distro/) for system distribution detection
* [dnspython](https://pypi.org/project/dnspython/) for --srv
* [netifaces](https://pypi.org/project/netifaces/) for listening on all addresses in --listen mode
* [pycryptodomex](https://pypi.org/project/pycryptodomex/) (recommended) or [pycryptodome](https://pypi.org/project/pycryptodome/) or [pycrypto](https://pypi.org/project/pycrypto/) for --encrypt
* [systemd](https://pypi.org/project/systemd/) for using systemd-supplied sockets
## Usage
Please see the 2ping manpage for invocation options, but in short, start a listener on the far end:
2ping --listen
And run 2ping on the near end, connecting to the far end listener:
2ping $LISTENER
Where "$LISTENER" is the name or IP address of the listener.
