Ping

Use the ping utility to determine if an address is reachable.

Ping sends ICMP echo requests (ECHO-REQUEST) to the destination device. Upon receiving the requests, the destination device responds with ICMP echo replies (ECHO-REPLY) to the source device. The source device outputs statistics about the ping operation, including the number of packets sent, number of echo replies received, and the round-trip time. You can measure the network performance by analyzing these statistics.
