 * ICMP echo requests to unicast IPv4 and IPv6 addresses.
 * The application can produce a verbose output similar to the real
 * application, and can also export statistics via a trace source.
 * The ping packet count, packet size, and interval between pings can
 * be controlled via attributes of this class.
