Basic Circuit Test with PING

A very good connection will pass 1 million bits without an error. A simple test for that is to see 100 ping packets of 1K in length. There should be no lost packets.

Isn't it nice that everybody creates commands with different options?

Windows

  • ping /? # for Options
  • ping -l 1000 -n 100 -w 5000 DESTINATION-ADDRESS
    • -l 1000 # length of 1000 bytes
    • -n 100 # number of packets is 100
    • -w 5000 # wait 5 seconds between packets.

Linux or OpenWRT

  • ping -? # for options
  • ping -s 1000 -c 100 -i 5 DESTINATION-ADDRESS
    • -s 1000 # packet size
    • -c 100 # count of packets
    • -i 5 # interval in seconds
