pingall

Utility to quickly and efficiently discover available ip addresses and their hostnames on your network. This program will always finish within 2 seconds, much faster than nmap 196.168.1.*.

Details

By simultaneously pinging all of the addresses with a 1 second timeout we can guage who is responsive on the network. tokio is used to make it all asynchronous (only 1 thread is used).
