9.6 Diagnostic Setup
The DSL device supports some useful diagnostic tools.
9.6.1 Ping Diagnostic
Ping operates by sending Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) echo request packets to the target
host and waiting for an ICMP response. In the process it measures the time from transmission to
reception (round-trip time) and records any packet loss.
9.6.2 Ping6 Diagnostic
IPv6 configuration is mostly the same as IPv4 configuration (please refer to 9.6.1 Ping Diagnostic). IPv4
uses only 32 bits for IP address space; IPv6 allows 128 bits for IP address space.
