Ping is a network utility used to test the reachability of a host on an Internet Protocol (IP) network and to measure the round-trip time for messages sent from the originating host to a destination computer. It works by sending Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) echo request packets to the target host and listening for ICMP echo replies. This process can test the connection to a host across both local networks (LANs) and wide area networks (WANs). Ping does not test higher-level protocols like HTTP or specific TCP ports such as port 23, which is typically used for Telnet.
