The primary advantage of fping is its ability to process a list of targets simultaneously.
fping is a standard part of the Fedora repos.
If your repo has an ancient version (like 3.x), you may need to compile from source to get modern features like IPv6 support and improved interval timing. If you'd like, I can help you with:
Standard ping waits for a timeout or reply from Host A before moving to Host B. fping sends packets to Host A, B, and C in parallel.
