PING

TESTING
WHAT IS PING
WHAT IS PING
A PING (Packet Internet or Inter-Network Groper) is a simple Internet program that
allows a user to test and verify the existence of a specific destination IP address as well as
accept requests in computer network administration.

Ping is also used diagnostically to ensure that the host computer the user is attempting
to contact is operational. Ping can be used with any operating system (OS) that supports
networking, including the majority of embedded network administration software.
WHAT IS PING

To find the dot address, such as 205.245.172.72, for any given domain name, Windows
users can go to the command prompt screen (start/run/cmd) and enter ping xxxxxx.yyy,
where xxxxxx is the second-level domain name, like "whatis," and yyy is the top-level
domain name, like "com."
Importance of Ping
Testing

A ping network test helps verify the status of a


networked device. Such tests also help network
administrators determine the latency, routing, or
congestion issues between two devices
communicating over a network.

How does ping works?
Ping sends an Internet Control Message Protocol
(ICMP) Echo Request to a network interface and then
waits for a response. When the ping command is
executed, a ping signal is sent to the specified address.
When the target host receives the echo request, it
responds with an echo reply packet.

This method has two distinct purposes: determining


round-trip time (RTT) or latency and ensuring that the
target host is available.
How does ping works?
RTT is a measure of the time it took to receive a response.
Measured in milliseconds (ms), the process begins when a
browser sends a request to a server and ends when the server
responds. RTT is an important performance metric for web
applications.

By default, ping commands send multiple requests


(typically four or five) and display the results. The echo ping
results indicate whether a specific request received a
successful response. It also includes the number of bytes
received as well as the time it took to receive a response,
also known as time-to-live.
