🔖 Feature description

After the change in #2223 , the number of packets sent changed from 10 to 1, which in some cases could lead to false alerts.

✔️ Solution

It could be interesting to have a setting for the number of packets sent for tests, the same as retries for example.

If not, I think it may be better to set it back to 10 as it was.

Oh I messed up with the number of packets sent and packet size. Reopen.

OK, I messed up with deadline (-w) and timeout (-W)...

@louislam looks like running the ping monitor on Windows triggers the error message "There is no deadline option on windows"

Yes, it should be fixed. See #2636.
