What do you know about Ping? |
|
Answer» A Ping is a tool for determining whether or not an IP address is connected to another TCP/IP computer. It's a piece of computer network administration software that checks a host's reach on an Internet Protocol network. It's compatible with almost any operating system that has NETWORKING capabilities, as well as the majority of embedded network administration applications. The PING utility validates reachability to the remote end's destination host using IP ICMP echo request and echoes reply MESSAGES. The reception of related echo Reply messages, as well as round-trip times, are displayed. The most used TCP/IP command for troubleshooting connectivity, reachability, and name resolution is ping. It CONTAINS two messages: the first is whether the data packet is capable of sending and receiving messages from the destination IP address, and the second is the process' RTT time (RTT means round trip time and is calculated in MILLISECONDS). |
