+This provides a wrapper to ping neutron guests that are on isolated
+tenant networks that the caller can't normally reach. It does so by
+creating a network namespace probe.
+
+It takes arguments like ping, except the first arg must be the network
+name.
+
+Note: in environments with duplicate network names, the results are
+non deterministic.
+
+This should *really* be in the neutron cli.
