But notice I am not pointing at FPing6 binary contrary to the documentation since FPing6 doesn't exist in the repositories for my Linux distribution and according to the project's GitHub the developer unified the branches into base `fping` back in 2015:
<a href="https://github.com/schweikert/fping/issues/80">https://github.com/schweikert/fping/issues/80</a></div>

<br>
</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">
<span></span>So it's fping for both IPv4 and 6, at least for my distribution (is Debian/Ubuntu still making fping6 available?...)</div>

<br>
</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">
Anyway, the issue is no data is being plotted with the FPing6 probe. IPv6 is enabled in my kernel and the wired interface has an IPv6 address. I can also use `fping -6 -C 10 -A facebook.com` successfully.</div>
