PING a network tool to perform connectivity test, by PINGing the IP address of a given device. At times we will need to PING test our printers and devices (ipad) to make sure they are all connected in the network.
It can tell if your network connection is healthy, delayed, or disconnected.
The result will show, for example: 64 bytes from 192.168.1.99: icmp_seq=0 ttl=128 time=62.929 ms
1) Healthy ping = the "time" result is below 100ms
2) Delayed ping = the "time" result is above 100ms.
the higher this number, the more delayed you have in your network and this indicate abnormal behaviour in your network. You should troubleshoot your network if this is the case.
