Ping Client Apps and Alternatives

Pinging an IP address means that you check the reachability of that host and track the time it takes to send and receives messages sent from the initial host to the destination computer

In other words, pinging a given host allows network administrators and simple users to verify the status of that host and its stability.

Users can ping a single address or a specific range of IPs and each of them will be verified.

Even though standalone utilities can be be used to ping IPs or domain names, this type of function will typically be integrated within more complex IP-dedicated apps.
