Ping is a simple, widely used, cross-platform networking utility for testing if a host is reachable on an Internet Protocol (IP) network. It works by sending a series of Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) ECHO_REQUEST messages to the target host and waiting for an ICMP echo reply (or ECHO_RESPONSE).

You can run a ping test in order to establish if your computer can communicate with another computer (target host); it helps you determine:

whether the target host is reachable (active) or not,
to measure the amount of time it takes for packets to get to the target host and back to your computer (the round-trip time (rtt) in communicating with the target host) and
the packet loss, expressed as a percentage.
