PING Command - Troubleshooting Networks

The PING command is a network utility used to troubleshoot and diagnose network connectivity issues between two devices in a TCP/IP network. It stands for "Packet Internet Groper" and is widely available on various operating systems, including Windows, macOS, and Linux. The command works by sending ICMP (Internet Control Message Protocol) echo request packets to the target device and waiting for an ICMP echo reply in return.
