Mping stands for Multi-ping and is a system for collecting packet delay and loss statistics in a TCP/IP network using ICMP echo. Mping uses the Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) "ECHO" facility to measure round trip delays and packet loss across network paths.

Could you maybe explain in pkg-descr how mping is different from ping(8) in the base? Short, why should the user use net/mping instead of the plain old ping. mping seems to have ipv6 support, i'd suggest to replace the secondary category 'security' with 'ipv6'.
