Ping Test
The Packet INternet Groper (Ping)Test allows you to
verify connectivity to remote hosts. The Ping test
operates by sending Internet Control Message Protocol
(ICMP) request packets to the tested host and waits for
an ICMP response. In the process it measures the time
from transmission to reception and records any packet
