Interesting.
It would appear that someone at Cisco had a better sense of humor than did
someone at WinToys :->

If you were going from a Cisco router to a Cisco router, it would look like
this(watch wrap on all links):

If you were pinging from a Winthing to a Cisco device, it might look like
this:

You will note that the results vary based upon the operating system
involved. For a Cisco device, the repeating pattern is the following in
binary:
1010101111001101
Which in hex is ABCD. You can vary the pattern to any four value hex
character combination that you choose. Obvious choices would be 0x0000 or
0xFFFF or maybe 0xAAAA (equal mix of ones and zeros in the payload). Of
course, you will need to be in priviledge mode to do an extended ping and
ensure you choose "extended commands".
