   ping    ( 8 )

отправить ICMP ECHO_REQUEST на сетевые узлы (send ICMP ECHO_REQUEST to network hosts)

Описание (Description)

ping uses the ICMP protocol's mandatory ECHO_REQUEST datagram to
       elicit an ICMP ECHO_RESPONSE from a host or gateway. ECHO_REQUEST
       datagrams ('pings') have an IP and ICMP header, followed by a
       struct timeval and then an arbitrary number of 'pad' bytes used
       to fill out the packet.

ping works with both IPv4 and IPv6. Using only one of them explicitly can be enforced by specifying -4 or -6.

ping can also send IPv6 Node Information Queries (RFC4620). Intermediate hops may not be allowed, because IPv6 source routing was deprecated (RFC5095).
