Description : Test network connection between two hosts
Paping is an tool designed to monitor the availability of a TCP/IP network
connection between two points using TCP protocol.
.
It offers a straightforward approach to checking if a server is
reachable and responsive on a specific port. Paping enables real-time
monitoring of server status, aiding in the prompt detection of
connectivity issues.
.
Paping alike to Ping, but in TCP level, targeting specific ports TCP.
Both network diagnostic tools used to test the reachability of a host.
Here are their key similarities:
.
Purpose: Both tools are used to check the availability and responsiveness
of network connections.
Functionality: They send packets to a specified address and wait for
a response, measuring the round-trip time.
Output: Both provide feedback on the success or failure of the packets sent,
including response times.
Usage: Both can be used to diagnose network issues and ensure that a host
is reachable over the network.
.
Paping is also an excellent tool for learning TCP/IP. However, this
program does not support UDP connections and IPv6.
