To resolve network problems, avoiding flooding, were the receiver or 
specific network components on the way to the receiver time out on 
there MAC address lookup. This feature solves this by pushing through 
a ping message regularly. This feature makes it also possible for the 
sender to know if there is an active recipient, or if it is down at the 
moment. 
Enable Unicast Peer Ping: Check this box to enable regular pinging of 
the peer, e.g. the receiver of the stream. This will only have effect in 
unicast mode. 
Interval:  Set the interval in seconds between each Ping.  
Active: Indicates if the channel is actively sending Ping.   
OK responses: Indicates how many valid Ping responses have bean 
received.    
Timeouts: Indicates how many of the sent Ping messages timed out, 
without receiving a valid response.
