When users ping an IP address, they want to check the reachability of the host and to track the time it takes to send and receives messages sent from the initial host to the destination computer.
In other words, IP ping can help network administrators verify the status of their network and its stability.
Users will have the possibility to ping a single address or specify a range of IPs and each of them will be verified.
Even though there are standalone utilities that can be used to ping IPs or domain names, this function is typically integrated within more complex IP-dedicated apps.
