Implemented Ping Utility Using Python-3.

Python3-Ping-Utility

This illustrates the use of ping command

[Ping]

The ping command is a very common method for troubleshooting the accessibility of devices. It uses a series of Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) Echo messages to determine. • Whether a remote host is active or inactive
• The round-trip delay in communicating with the host
• Packet loss
The ping command first sends an echo request packet to an address, then waits for a reply. The ping is successful only if, • the echo request gets to the destination, and
• the destination is able to get an echo reply back to the source within a predetermined time called a timeout.

  The TTL value of a ping packet cannot be changed <br/>
