OK, I thought you used them your self:

Scan your private net for which IP-numbers is in use. Save data in a
file for later handling:

time parallel --tag -j+128 ping -W2 -c1 192.168.112.{} \| grep from
::: $(seq 254) | tee foo

I use -j+128 here to start more ping's at the same time. They dont use
RAM, and most of the time they are just waiting those 2 seconds for a
time-out. It should take about 5 seconds to get the full result on any
net.
