Summary

This PR updates the README documentation to clarify the behavior difference between ping_type = "udp" and ping_type = "socket" in the ESM configuration.

Key Updates

  • Describes that udp requires both IP and port, and may silently fail in some environments.
  • Explains that socket uses ICMP and is more reliable for basic node availability.
  • Adds usage guidance and default behavior notes.

Testing

  • Confirmed that ping_type = "udp" does not send pings if port is provided.
  • ping_type = "socket" correctly sends ICMP pings at configured intervals (10s).

Updates the README documentation to clarify the behavior difference between `ping_type = "udp"` and `ping_type = "socket"` in the ESM configuration.
