ping
====
_________________________________________________________________
ping <nodename> [<length> [<milliseconds> [<incflag>]]]
_________________________________________________________________
Ping (send ICMP Echo Request packets to) the specified <host>.
By default the data field contains only a small timestamp to aid
in determining round trip time; if the optional <length> argument
is given, the appropriate number of data bytes (consisting of hex
55) are added to the ping packets.
If the <milliseconds> parameter is supplied, pings will be
repeated indefinitely at the specified interval.
If no interval value is supplied, a single, "one-shot" ping is
done. Responses to one-shot pings appear asynchronously on the
command screen, while repeated pings create a separate session
that may be suspended and resumed. Pinging continues until the
session is manually reset.
The <incflag> option causes a repeated ping to increment the
target IP address for each ping; it is an experimental feature
for searching blocks of IP addresses for active hosts.
>> Examples: ping post.demon.co.uk
ping post.demon.co.uk 10 5000
ping 158.152.1.1 0 500 1
The last example pings successive addresses from 158.152.1.1
upwards, and produces an output of the form:

158.152.1.1: rtt 427
158.152.1.4: rtt 345
