Using (very) low pingPeriod not working

[thomers]

I want to determine the network connection quality during app startup as quickly as possible. One idea was to send out a burst of a couple of pings, and measure average RTT and timeouts.

Using GBPing, I found that the time between 2 pings sent is approx. 1 second at minimum, regardless of whether I set the pingPeriod to be 1.0, 0.5 or 0.05. (Setting values greater than 1 second works correctly, though).

What do I need to do to send out more pings / with less delay between the pings?

I have same issue, any idea ?
