ping

Transmits an echo message, available within the TCP/IP protocol suite. The echo message is sent to a remote node and returned; the echo tests connectivity to the remote node. It is particularly useful for locating connection problems on a network.

The remote node can be specified by IP address or by domain name. If a domain name is specified, the address of the domain is requested from the domain name server (DNS).

A status message is issued for each echo message sent.

NOTE:

You cannot ping your own LAN address; you can ping your own WAN address.

To fit the echo message into one ATM cell in routing mode, set the length of user data down to 0 bytes (-s 0 or -l 0).

NOTE:

To terminate the ping before it ends, press control-c.
