Ping

(Packed INternet Groper) Ping recuerda aquel juego que se hacía cuando se era pequeño, cuando se tocaba el timbre de un vecino y después salíamos corriendo. Ping es un poco la misma cosa, de hecho se toca el timbre de un host de internet para ver si se es colegado; después salimos corriendo. En el caso de Ping no se trata de un juego; la finalidad es verificar si se logra obtener una respuesta desde el host en el caso no se pueda colegar; si no responde, significa probablemente que el host no está activo, o a lo mejor no responde a ningún pedido, o todavía que una parte de internet que te colega al host no está activa.
