Understanding network connectivity and latency measurement

What is Ping?

Ping is a network utility that tests the reachability of a host on an Internet Protocol (IP) network. It measures the round-trip time for messages sent from the originating host to a destination computer.

Tests network connectivity between two hosts
Measures network latency and response times
Detects packet loss and network issues
How Ping Works

Ping uses ICMP (Internet Control Message Protocol) Echo Request and Echo Reply messages to test connectivity.

1. Send Echo Request
Your computer sends an ICMP Echo Request packet to the target host
2. Receive Echo Reply
The target host responds with an ICMP Echo Reply packet
3. Calculate Round-Trip Time
The time difference is measured and reported as latency
