What You Need to Know
• What This Tool Does
Ping Test sends ICMP echo requests to a host and measures response time, packet loss, and connectivity to diagnose network issues and measure latency.
• Why It Matters
- → Availability: Confirms host is online and reachable
- → Latency: Measures network delay affecting user experience
- → Packet Loss: Identifies network quality issues
- → Troubleshooting: First step in diagnosing connectivity problems
• How to Read the Results
- ✓ Time: Response time in milliseconds (lower is better)
- ✓ <50ms: Excellent, <100ms: Good, <200ms: Acceptable, >200ms: Poor
- ✓ Packet Loss: Percentage of packets that didn't return (0% is ideal)
- ✓ Timeout: No response received - host may be offline or blocking ICMP
