Answer / sudharsan
Ping (Packet Internet Groper)is used to check a particular host is reachable across the network. It is also used to self test the NIC of the computer.
The command takes the form ping <ip_address>
Ping uses ICMP (Internet Control Message Protocol) for its operation. It sends ICMP echo request packets to the designated host. If the device is reachable before a time-out period, an ICMP echo reply message will be received.
Ping measures the round-trip time and records any packet loss, and prints when finished a statistical summary of the echo response packets received, the minimum, mean, max
