+// Package ping contains the implementation of the ICMP and IPv6-ICMP transport
+// protocols for use in ping. To use it in the networking stack, this package
+// must be added to the project, and
+// activated on the stack by passing ping.ProtocolName (or "ping") and/or
+// ping.ProtocolName6 (or "ping6") as one of the transport protocols when
+// calling stack.New(). Then endpoints can be created by passing
+// ping.ProtocolNumber or ping.ProtocolNumber6 as the transport protocol number
+// when calling Stack.NewEndpoint().
