How to ping any ip address

In computer networking, ping is a specific method for sending messages from one computer to another. It is mostly used to check whether the system is up and running or not. Ping is the name of a standard software utility (tool) used to test network connections. It can be used to determine if a remote device (such as Web or game server) can be reached across the network.

ping tools use Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP). They send request messages to a target network address at periodic intervals and measure the time it takes for a response message to arrive.
