To ping is to issue an ICMP Type 8 (ICMP Echo Request) to a host which according to RFC1122 it must reply to. (In reality this may be seen as a security risk.). The format of a successful response has type and code of 0. If you're operating down at this level you'll need to examine ICMP in more detail. If you have a sockets interface then you may just get a reply event. Sometimes people call these "pongs". ie Ping? Pong. Ping? Pong.
