Subject: Use Ruby to make a MTU sweep utility (Ping)

Hi

I've had a request to make a utility (I want to use Ruby) that does a
MTU sweep looking for black holes in routes.  So I need a library or a
way to run ping in both a OS X, Linux and Windows environment.  The
utility will ping an IP and continue to increment the package / payload
size until error if any  The MTU will be (max_size + 28). Can I use Ruby
to do this?  I found a ping gem and the std. lib has ping as well but
very limited in options.  What else is there?


Thanks
