  Key Concepts: 
  Ping is a network utility used to test the reachability of a host on an Internet Protocol (IP) network. It works by sending an ICMP (Internet Control Message Protocol) echo request to the target host and waiting for an ICMP echo reply. The ping command is used to measure the round-trip time for messages sent from the originating host to a destination computer. 
  
  How to use it: 
  The ping command is used to test the connection between two computers on a network. To use it, open a command prompt window and type “ping” followed by the IP address or domain name of the target computer. The ping command will then send four ICMP echo requests to the target computer and wait for four corresponding ICMP echo replies. The results of the ping command will be displayed in the command prompt window. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using the ping command, it is important to remember that it only tests the connection between two computers on a network. It does not test the speed or reliability of the connection, nor does it test any other aspects of network performance. Additionally, it is important to note that some networks may block ICMP traffic, which can prevent the ping command from working properly.
