ping test
Network response check
A ping test is a diagnostic check that measures whether a computer can reach another device on a network and how long the round trip takes.
The name comes from sonar—sending out a signal and listening for the echo.
Network administrators use ping tests to troubleshoot connectivity problems: Run a ping test to see if the server is responding.
Gamers check ping to measure latency: My ping test showed 15 milliseconds—good enough for competitive play.
