Request and Reply
ping uses the ICMP protocol.
The network command 'ping' issues a series of standard, small messages to the destination network address specified by the user. For example: ping 192.168.0.1 This command will send a number of 'ping' messages to the computer on the network with IP address 192.168.0.1 Upon receiving these messages, the destination machine will echo the same message back to the sender. This is used as a simple check of the network connectivity between the two computers on the network. Since an unreachable address will result in no message being returned, the sending machine must know how long to wait before considering the message lost. This time is known as the 'timeout'. By default, it is 1000 millisecond (1 second) but it can be set to any time by the user with the '-w' option. For example: ping -w 2000 192.168.0.1 This will cause the ping program to wait for two seconds before considering a ping packet lost.
A hacker sends ICMP messages to a range of IP addresses.
The ping utility allows users to test if a host can be reached on an IP network, as well as the round-trip time for messages from a host to a destination. Response times are generally tracked in milliseconds.
The "ping" program uses ICMP echo message requests and listens for ICMP echo message reply messages from its intended host. Using the -R option with ping enables the record route feature. If this option is used ping will set the record route (RR) in the outgoing ICMP IP datagram. Website:http://www.iyogibusiness.com/
PACKET INTERNET GROPER uses ICMP echo request and reply messages to check the physical and logical connectivity of machines on an internetwork . Hence Ping works on layer 3 of OSI model.
go to command prompt and type in either Ping Loopback, or Ping 127.0.0.1 or Ping another device's IP Address
Ping is a computer network administration utility used to test the reachability of a host on an Internet Protocol (IP) network and to measure the round-trip time for messages sent from the originating host to a destination computer. Ping is used to identify if there is an internet connection and how fast it is.
The ping rate is the communication delay between two computers or a computer and a network. A computer ping test can determine how fast a computer can connect to others.
