Überblick & Funktionsweise

`ping` is the fundamental network diagnostics tool used to verify whether a remote host or IP address is reachable across an IP network. It measures the round-trip time (RTT) for packets sent from the local machine to a destination and reports packet loss percentages.

Flag / OptionDescription
-c [count]Stop sending ECHO_REQUEST packets after count packets are sent.
-i [interval]Wait interval seconds between sending each packet (default 1s).
-W [timeout]Time to wait for a response in seconds before timing out.
