About Ping

Ping is a fundamental network diagnostic tool used to test the reachability of a host on an IP network and measure the round-trip time (RTT) for packets sent from the source to the destination. It operates by sending ICMP Echo Request packets and waiting for ICMP Echo Reply responses.

Key metrics explained:
RTT (Round-Trip Time): The time it takes for a packet to travel to the destination and back, measured in milliseconds (ms). Lower is better.
Packet Loss: The percentage of packets that didn't receive a reply. High packet loss indicates network issues.
Jitter: The variation in RTT between consecutive packets. High jitter can affect real-time applications like VoIP or gaming.
