working of ping and goopher?

Answer Posted / sudharsan

Ping (Packet Internet Groper)is used to check a particular host is reachable across the network. It is also used to self test the NIC of the computer.

The command takes the form ping <ip_address>

Ping uses ICMP (Internet Control Message Protocol) for its operation. It sends ICMP echo request packets to the designated host. If the device is reachable before a time-out period, an ICMP echo reply message will be received.

Ping measures the round-trip time and records any packet loss, and prints when finished a statistical summary of the echo response packets received, the minimum, mean, max

The following is a sample output of pinging en.wikipedia.org from within the command prompt

ping en.wikipedia.org
Pinging rr.pmtpa.wikimedia.org [208.80.152.2] with 32 bytes of data:
