PING me darling

PING? Really, what the... is that? The internet protocol brings many cool stuff :-) . PING, or better ICMP messages, is a standard tool that comes with almost every modern OS (operating system). It gives the user the abillity to check if communication through a digital network works. ICMP messages are small data packets that can be send to and from a server to a client. That is like from PC computer to a webserver, or from your smartphone to a DNS server. There are many situations where things just don't work. A basic communication test using ICMP ping is a great help.
