What Is Ping and What Does Its Output Tell Me?

➡️ Ping is one of the oldest diagnostic tools. It validates connectivity from point A to point B and provides additional useful information.

➡️ Ping
The ping command checks connectivity between devices by sending a request to a specific IP or domain and receiving a response. It measures round-trip time, identifies packet loss, and helps diagnose network issues. Results show whether the target is reachable and give details about the connection’s speed and reliability.
