+short_description: Tests reachability using ping from devices running Juniper JUNOS
+description:
+  - Tests reachability using ping from devices running Juniper JUNOS to a remote destination.
+  - Tested against Junos (17.3R1.10)
+  - For a general purpose network module, see the M(net_ping) module.
+  - For Windows targets, use the M(win_ping) module instead.
+  - For targets running Python, use the M(ping) module instead.
