PING is a component of various operating systems, used to -- as stated above -- test connectivity. By itself, the PING command doesn't tell you a lot of interesting things you might want to know. As such, many people have written software in a wide ranges of languages with a wide range of APIs that add features and capabilities to the vernerable PING command.
