Do we really have to resort to kvm_subprocess here? We use subprocess on
special occasions, usually when the command in question is required to
live throughout the tests, which doesn't seem to be the case.
kvm_subprocess is a good library, but it is a more heavyweight
alternative (spawns its own shell process, for example). Maybe you are
using it because you can directly send input to the process at any time,
such as the ctrl+c later on this same code.

^ For None objects, it is better to explicitly test for is None. However
the above construct seems more natural if put as

if not status:

Any particular reason you tested explicitely for False?

^ On function headers, we pretty much follow PEP 8 and don't use spacing
between argument keys, the equal sign and the default value, so this
header should be rewritten

def ping(dest="localhost",...)

^ the last 3 if clauses could be simpler if put as:

if adaptive:

if broadcast:

if flood:
