Packet InterNet Grouper (Groper)" (sometimes also defined as "Packet Inter-Network Groper). The usefulness of ping in assisting the "diagnosis" of internet connectivity issues was impaired from late in 2003, when a number of Internet Service Providers filtered out ICMP Type 8 (echo request) messages at their network boundaries. This was partly due to the increasing use of ping for target reconnaissance, for example by Internet worms such as Welchia that flood the Internet with ping requests in order to locate new hosts to infect. Not only did the availability of ping responses leak information to an attacker, it added to the overall load on networks, causing problems for routers across the Internet.

Ping is a computer network utility program that allow verification of an IP address' existence over the network or the internet.

Ping - in computing terms - is the action of a computer sending a small data 'packet' down the network cable to the host computer, and calculating the time taken (in milliseconds) for the host to respond.
