[Planetlab-users] A problem about ping on planetlab

[Danny Bickson]

The Linux ping utility generally does not work on Planetlab since Planetlab is using safe raw
sockets. Thus for example, the ping application should bind the ICMP raw socket.

You can download our topologyd application which has a ping module written for Planetlab:
