Testing a Connection with ping
The
ping
command is the standard tool for testing whether a TCP/IP connection works.
It uses the ICMP protocol to send a small data packet, ECHO_REQUEST datagram,
to the destination host, requesting an immediate reply. If this works,
ping
displays a
message to that effect, which indicates that the network link is basically functioning.
ping
does more than test only the function of the connection between two computers:
it also provides some basic information about the quality of the connection. In Exam-
ple 30.10, “Output of the Command ping” (page 593), you can see an example of the
ping
output. The second-to-last line contains information about number of transmitted
packets, packet loss, and total time of
ping
running.
As the destination, you can use a hostname or IP address, for example,
ping example.com
or
ping 130.57.5.75
. The program sends packets until
you press Ctrl + C .
If you only need to check the functionality of the connection, you can limit the number
of the packets with the
-c
option. For example to limit ping to three packets, enter
ping -c 3 192.168.0
.
