Testing connections with the ping command
As an aid to diagnosing basic network connectivity, many network protocols support an echo protocol. The
protocol involves sending a special datagram to the destination host, then waiting for a reply datagram from
that host. Results from this echo protocol can help in evaluating the path-to-host reliability, delays over the
path, and whether the host can be accessed or is functioning.
