Max targets?

Sorry for the delayed response. I'm glad you like multiping.

To be honest, I haven't had a chance to test it with such large numbers of addresses. It "should" work. Are those 488 targets on your local network, or out there on the Internet? It is possible that you are running into some rate limiting issues in your network or service provider. ICMP packets in such large quantities may be considered suspicious.

This issue is caused by the limited receive buffer size. The receive buffer on the socket varies according to the platform.

For local targets, the replies come back faster than they can be read from the socket, the socket buffer overflows, and the replies are lost.

I'll submit a patch shortly to use a larger receive buffer, but perhaps in the long run the receive buffer should be set according to the number of pinged targets.

Fixed by PR #5. Thank you mpghf for the contribution!
