Currently Ping is implemented using a pipe, which is a generic unix way of implementing it.

However some platforms provide other primitives that could be used more efficiently for this, such as eventfd on Linux.

Some BSDs have EVFILT_USER, which can be used to wake up a kqueue without using a pipe. Similarly port_send can be used on Solaris. However I'm not sure how this would be exposed in polling.
