ping
The ping command sends an Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP)
mandatory ECHO_REQUEST datagram to elicit an ICMP
ECHO_RESPONSE from a host or gateway. ECHO_REQUEST
datagrams (pings) have an IP and ICMP header, followed by a structured
time value and an arbitrary number of pad bytes that fill out the packet.
The syntax for this command is:
ping host_ip_address [data_size] [npackets]
The host_ip_address entry is the Internet address of the host or gateway
from which you wish to elicit a response.
The optional data_size entry is the number of bytes sent in a datagram
packet. The default value is 64 and the maximum value is 1024.
