Ping a domain

• query : Domain or IP address to ping.
• timeout : Time to wait for a response, in seconds.
• retry : Number of echo requests to send.
• version : Ping IPv4 or IPv6 address (Ping or Ping6).

document.addEventListener('deviceready', onDeviceReady, false);
function onDeviceReady() {
  var p, success, err, ipList;
  ipList = [{query: 'www.tiste.org', timeout: 1,retry: 3,version:'v4'},
            {query: 'www.somesite.com', timeout: 2,'retry': 3,version:'v6'}];
  success = function (results) {
    console.log(results);
  };
  err = function (e) {
    console.log('Error: ' + e);
  };
  p = new Ping();
  p.ping(ipList, success, err);
}

API

Ping.ping

This method takes the following arguments:

• ipList: an array of json objects with parameters : domain to query, retry, timeout and version.
• success: a callback function that handles success
• err: a callback function that handles error

The callback function for success takes one argument, which is a JSON array of results:

[{
    "response": {
        "status": "success",
        "result": {
            "target": "www.tiste.org",
            "avgRtt": "4.476",
            "maxRtt": "6.348",
            "minRtt": "1.007",
            "pctTransmitted": "3",
            "pctReceived": "3",
            "pctLoss": "0%"
        }
    },
    "request": {
        "query": "www.tiste.org",
        "timeout": "1",
        "retry": "3",
        "version": "v4"
    }
 }, {
    "response": {
        "status": "success",
        "result": {
            "target": "www.somesite.com",
            "avgRtt": "4.811",
            "maxRtt": "7.294",
            "minRtt": "0.915",
            "pctTransmitted": "3",
            "pctReceived": "3",
            "pctLoss": "0%"
        }
    },
    "request": {
        "query": "www.somesite.com",
        "timeout": "2",
