  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.
