The 'ping' command tests a network connection by sending something (a packet) to a destination address on the network, if successful, ping returns the ip address of that machine or service. The normal syntax for a 'ping' is:-
Syntax
PING [options] destination_host
Options
-w timeout Timeout in milliseconds to wait for each reply.
-i TTL Time To Live.
-v TOS Type Of Service.
-a Resolve addresses to hostnames.
-n count Number of echo requests to send.
-t Ping the destination host until interrupted.
-l size Send buffer size.
-f Set Don't Fragment flag in packet.
-r count Record route for count hops.
-s count Timestamp for count hops.
-j host_list Loose source route along host_list.
-k host_list Strict source route along host_list.
destination_host The name of the remote host
Some networks disable the 'ping' function because by sending many of them to a particular destination host, it is possible to swamp this host to the point where the host crashes.
