To get the ping sweep working, you need to specify pingsweepmax as a minimum. This is the maximum data size that will be sent. If pingsweepmin is set, the data size will start from the specified value. The default data size is 0. If pingsweepincr is set, after each _count_ number of packets has been sent, the data size is increased by the current data size + pingsweepincr. This cycle repeated until the current data size is equal or less to pingsweepmax. If pingsweepincr doesn't divide evenly in to pingsweepmax, the sweep will stop before it would exceed pingsweepmax. If "-s count" is included, each sweep of a particular data size will consist of "count" bytes. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: a range of data sizes
