The ping command has two primary uses:
- To check whether your connection to a remote computer works at all.
- To check how healthy that connection is.
Even if your ping reaches its destination and you get a reply, theping response will tell you how long a packet took to return and howmany packets have been lost.You can use the ping command to diagnose ifthe connection is too slow or unreliable.
