Overview

Vendor Notes:

 from the doc: 'To use the pinging program is quite simple. Parsons Normal Ping asks you the same questions as Parsons Continuous Pinger. The difference is that Normal Ping only sends 3 packets of information to the ip or url you requested and Continuous Pinger keeps sending packets of the requested size to the ip or url over and over agian until the user presses Cntrl + C.'
