Ping is one of the most useful network debugging tools. This would take its name from a submarine sonar search. You send a short sound burst and listen for an echo – a ping – coming back.
In an IP network, ping sends a short data burst, a single packet, and listens for a single packet in reply. Since this tests the most basic function of an IP network, it’s easy to see how you can learn a lot from some pings.
Certain Functions with regard to the pings are given below. It would be very useful for you.
* -t :P ing the specifed host until stopped. To see the statistics and continue type the key combination
Control-Break. To stopt type Control-C
* -a: Resolve addresses to hostnames .
* -n count: Number of echo requests to send.
* -l size: Send buffer size.
* -f: Set Don’t Fragment flag in packet.
* -i TTL: Time To Live.
* -v TOS: Type Of Service.
* -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.
* -w timeout: Timeout in milliseconds to wait for each reply.
Try out these functions practically, which would make you understand the function more clearly.
