WHAT IS PING
what is pink paint is a command-line utility available on virtually any operating system with network connectivity it acts as a test to see if a network device is reachable the ping command sends a request over the network to a specific device a successful ping results in a response from the computer that was pings back to the originating computer so how does ping work the ping utility uses the echo request and echo reply messages within the internet control message protocol an integral part of any IP network when a pain command is issued an echo request packet is sent to the address specified when the remote host receives the echo request it responds with an echo reply packet by default the ping command sent several echo requests typically four or five the result of each echo request is displayed it says if the requests received a successful response it also shows how many bytes were received in response but time to live and how long the response took to receive along with statistics about packet loss and round-trip times now how exactly can I make use of paints perhaps the most common use of the ping utility is in troubleshooting when trying to use applications or systems over network the most important thing to know is if there is actually a working connection a series of pinkman's can help to determine where the problem is among other things ping can be used to monitor the network availability of devices a ping commands running as a scheduled task can offer a rudimentary polling of any network computer or device without the need to install any additional software agents and without the need to open additional ports
