12.11 Ping
12.11.1 Introduction
Packet Internet Groper (PING) derives from the sonar location operation, which is used to
detect whether the network is normally connected. Ping is achieved with ICMP echo packets.
If an Echo Reply packet is sent back to the source address during a valid period after the Echo
Request packet is sent to the destination address, it indicates that the route between source and
destination address is reachable. If no Echo Reply packet is received during a valid period and
timeout information is displayed on the sender, it indicates that the route between source and
destination addresses is unreachable.
Figure 12-11 shows principles of Ping.
