ping command is used to check the connectivity between
computers in a network, it works with the help of ICMP-
(inernet control messaging protocol) and it is echo
oriented protocol. if we want to block the systems not to
ping then block the ICMP in firewall.

Answer / shaiju
Ping [packet internet groper]is a computer network tool used to test whether a particular host is reachable across an IP network; it is also used to self test the network interface card of the computer, or as a speed test. It works by sending ICMP “echo request” packets to the target host and listening for ICMP “echo response” replies. Ping estimates the round-trip time, generally in milliseconds, records any packet loss, and prints a statistical summary when finished.
