Fping 2.16 Review
named his program after the sonar sounds used for echolocation by submarines,
although some say ping stands for "Packet InterNet Grouper". Ping sends a small
packet of information containing an ICMP ECHO_REQUEST to a specified computer,
which then sends an ECHO_REPLY packet in return. The ping program then evaluates
this reply, and a report is shown. You can check several things with the ping
program: can you reach another computer, how long does it take to bounce a packet
off of another site (what is the distance), ... You can ping either a domain name,
or an IP address. Functionality to show domain names when using IP addresses is
supported. Even routing options are available, alas only 9 routes can be shown due
to the structure of the IP header (RFC 792). Why did I write my own ping program?
There are two main reasons: a) It wanted to know how the ping program worked. I
found it really intriguing and was very curious and b) There was a need for a
better ping program here at the lab where I work.
