* Package name : paping Version : 1.6.0 Upstream Contact: Mike Lovell <papingproj...@gmail.com> * URL : https://github.com/ronyjdesousa/paping * License : MIT Programming Lang: C++ Description : Test network connection between two hosts Paping is an tool designed to monitor the availability of a TCP/IP network connection between two points using TCP protocol. . It offers a straightforward approach to checking if a server is reachable and responsive on a specific port. Paping enables real-time monitoring of server status, aiding in the prompt detection of connectivity issues. . Paping alike to Ping, but in TCP level, targeting specific ports TCP. Both network diagnostic tools used to test the reachability of a host. Here are their key similarities: . Purpose: Both tools are used to check the availability and responsiveness of network connections. Functionality: They send packets to a specified address and wait for a response, measuring the round-trip time. Output: Both provide feedback on the success or failure of the packets sent, including response times. Usage: Both can be used to diagnose network issues and ensure that a host is reachable over the network. . Paping is also an excellent tool for learning TCP/IP. However, this program does not support UDP connections and IPv6.
