Here:
https://github.com/mirage/mirage-skeleton/blob/master/ping/ping.ml

Note that there's no actual network code in there.  That's because the
Mirari configuration includes:

ip-use-dhcp: true

which should bind a network manager to any VIFs that are plugged into the
VM.  Each network thread will respond to ping requests automatically, without
the application needing to do anything special.  The ICMP response code is
in; https://github.com/mirage/mirage-net/blob/master/direct/lib/icmp.ml
