        What is PING?

 Ping is one of the most useful network debugging tools available. It is used to determine the speed of a Network Connection and also used in many other networking utilities.

Actually, Ping has taken on several distinct meanings. One is that Ping is actually an acronym for the words 'Packet Internet Groper'. Another is that it is in fact not an acronym at all, but a noun that was adopted from a verb the US Navy uses to describe what its submarines do when looking for objects under the sea. Their subs send out sonar waves and then wait for a return wave when it bounces off something, such as another sub, whale, ocean floor etc. This, in turn, was adopted from bats and dolphins, who navigate in roughly the same way. This is what a system administrator does when Ping is used. So Ping has evolved into a verb in the computer industry, and it is used in somewhat the same manner of the Navy.

       

     A Ping utility is essentially a system administrator's tool that is used to see if a computer is operating and also to see if network connections are intact.

Ping uses the Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) Echo function which is detailed in RFC 792. A small packet of information containing an ICMP ECHO_REQUEST is sent through the network to either a particular IP address or a domain name. This packet contains 64 bytes - 56 data bytes and 8 bytes of protocol reader information. The computer that sent the packet then waits (or 'listens') for a ECHO_REPLY packet from the specified IP address. The ping program then evaluates this reply, and a report is shown. You can check several things with the ping program: can you reach another computer, how long does it take to bounce a packet off of another site. The time taken to Send and Receive a Data Packet is calculated in Milliseconds. This helps us to know the speed of the connection. If the connections are good and the target computer is up, a good return packet will be received. If a computer does not return a ping, it does not necessarily indicate a problem. Not every computer will ping you back. Most do, however, and if you have successfully pinged a computer in the past, but you cannot get a ping back today, there is a problem in the network (less common) or with the computer (most likely.) If it takes a long time for a ping to return, it is an indication that the network (most commonly) or the computer (less likely) is extremely busy. Additionally, an administrator can use Ping to test out name resolution. If the packet bounces back when sent to the IP address but not when sent to the name, then the system is having a problem matching the name to the IP address. As mentioned previously, Ping has also evoloved from a noun/acronym into a verb, for example: "Ping server X to see if it is up" The time it takes for the packet to get to the target computer and back again is known as the round trip time. If this takes an extended period of time, it is indicative that something may be wrong.

       How to start a ping?

      Once you have specified the addresses you would like to ping, you can start it by simply pressing the "ping" button, an alternative way is to choose from the Menu Toolbar, open the "Run" menu item and choose the "Start" item. You can also click the icon on the system tray with the right mouse button and choose the "Start" item.

  The ping interval is at your charge, the default interval is zero second which means the shortest interval, you can set it for a longer one. After the ping process starts, you would get the results view including the information of "Address", "ttl", "times" and "bytes".

  Maybe you are interested in what is the corresponding IP address of a domain name or the domain name for an IP address, or the location of a website, and maybe you would like to estimate the approximate connection speed. You can find the answers to these questions in PackPal Ping Utility. Just move the mouse onto one specific address, double click it and there appears a popup window presenting you detailed information about the ping process which involves the following three parts:

(1) General Information:


This part informs you the domain name, IP address and specially, the location of that address and the approximate speed through which you may have a judgment on whether the connection is good or not;

(2) Ping statistic:


This part shows you the information as follows: Packet size, total number of sent packets, total number of received packedts, the loss rate, minimum, maximum and average time of the ping process;

(3) Ping information:


In the form of black background and green foreground, this part presents you the real-time connecton information including the "time" item and the "info" item. The "time" item records the time when your computer pings another host, and the "info" item includes ttl time, ping time in MS unit and packet size in BYTE unit.

          How to stop a ping?

                  There are two ways for you to stop a ping:

1. On the Menu Toolbar, open the "Run" menu item and choose the "Stop" item, then the ping process to all IP addresses or domain names will be stopped.
2. On the front panel, press the "Stop" button, then the ping process to all IP addresses or domain names will be stopped.
3. On the system tray, click the program icon with the right mouse button and choose the "Stop" item.

         How to evaluate a connection?

      You can evaluate a connection through the "approximate speed". This item can be found in the detailed report for each IP address by double clicking it. The connection speed is recorded in KBPS unit (as shown in the following figure).

       Why you need a file?

      When you are operating many website links or doing an intranet connection test, it would be necessary for you to categorize them into different groups and each group is organized in a file ended with ".spl". For example, the URL for entertainment or education or news can be put in respective files named entertain.spl, edu.spl or news.spl. Suppose you want to read latest news, load the news.spl, ping all the news websites and check all the connections. This will give you a clear idea of which website works and which does not. Another example, the IP addresses for the Computer Department are between 192.168.0.1 and 192.168.0.66, for the Chemistry Department, between 192.168.0.67 and 192.168.0.127, so it would be convenient for you to save or import these IP addresses in computer.spl and chemistry.spl respectively. If you want to test the connections within the intranet, just load the .spl files and ping those IP addresses. These examples are just illustration of how a file may be composed, you can manage a file at your convenience.

Another type of file is the log file. It is helpful when you want to record the history information of the ping process. The history information is saved in a file ended with ".log". The content of the log files include the time when the ping occurred, ttl time, ping time in MS unit and packet size in BYTE unit.
