Ping is a computer network administration utility used to test the reachability of a host on an Internet Protocol (IP) network and to measure the round-trip time for messages sent from the originating host to a destination computer. The name comes from active sonar terminology which sends a pulse of sound and listens for the echo to detect objects underwater.

Ping operates by sending Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) echo request packets to the target host and waiting for an ICMP response. In the process it measures the time from transmission to reception (round-trip time) and records any packet loss. The results of the test are printed in the form of a statistical summary of the response packets received, including the minimum, maximum, and the mean round-trip times, and sometimes the standard deviation of the mean.

Depending on actual implementation, the ping utility may be executed with various command-line switches to enable special operational modes. For example, options include specifying the packet size of the probe, automatic repeated operation for sending a specified count of probes, and time stamping. Many operating systems provide a companion utility, ping6, for probing Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) hosts, but some systems may include this capability within the ping utility.

Ping may be abused as a simple form of denial-of-service attack in the form of a ping flood, in which the attacker overwhelms the victim with ICMP echo request packets.

Last name: Grant.

  • One possible origin of the name is from a nickname derived from the Anglo-Norman graund, graunt ("tall", "large").[ This in turn was derived from the Old French grand, grant, which was originally derived from the Latin grandis. This nickname was likely given to a person of remarkable size or merely to distinguish two persons bearing the same name.
  • Another possible origin of the surname is from a medieval personal name ultimately derived from the Old English byname Granta, which might have meant "snarler".
  • The surname may also be an alternate spelling of the German Grandt or Grand
