PING

 

 

HOW TO USE PING?

 

On Windows, MAC and ChromeOS, open a terminal window and

  • Type the command ping tsn.ca where tsn.ca could be any website.

 

This will test for connectivity between the device you are one and the webserver that holds the website.  Note that you can also ping that site using its IP address.

 

It will include the RTT (Round Trip Time) in milliseconds.  It will also include the TTL (Time To Live) data.

 

If you want more information, you can use ping tsn.ca /all and you will get extra info.
