This program uses the Internet Control Message\nProtocol (ICMP) to check-in with the target IP address and return a response\ntime. This utility is available in most StayLinked clients and commonly within\nradio and network configuration programs available on most devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
During a typical ping, the results will be\ndisplayed in the number of milliseconds that the packet took to make the round\ntrip to the destination and back. Lower numbers are better and excessively high\nresults will result in sluggish or unreliable connectivity. A typical wired\nnetwork will return results of less that 10ms. Consistent results of less than\n50ms should not be noticed by the terminal user. Results of 200ms or more may\nseem to hesitate or pause during transactions. Regular results in excess of\n500ms will result in noticeably poor performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If the results say \u2018Host Unreachable\u2019, no route\nwas available to make the round trip or the packets were dropped before the\nround trip could complete. Occasional dropped packets will be mostly unnoticed\nby a terminal user, while regular packet loss will cause poor performance with\nany network dependant application.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If the results report \u2018Unable to Resolve\u2019, the address was entered incorrectly, the name used was not listed in the name server, or the name server was not reachable.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
