Figure 19-9 The ping command’s syntax

The ping command has a few useful options beyond the basics. The first

option to try in Windows is the –t switch. If you use the –t switch, ping

continuously sends ping packets until you stop it with the break command

(CTRL-C). That’s the default behavior for ping in macOS and Linux; you press

CTRL-C again to make it stop. The second option in Windows is the –l switch,

which enables you to specify how big a ping packet to send. This helps in

diagnosing specific problems with the routers between your computer and the

computer you ping.
