ICMP IPv4/IPv6 Latency

FAQs

Why does ping timeout?
Host down, ICMP blocked by firewall, routing issues, or target disables ping replies.
What is a good ping time?
Browsing <100ms; gaming <50ms (excellent <20ms); local network often <1ms.
What does TTL indicate?
TTL decrements each hop; received value helps estimate hop count and OS defaults.

Understanding Ping & ICMP
What is Ping?

Ping is a network diagnostic tool that tests connectivity between your computer and a remote host. It sends ICMP (Internet Control Message Protocol) echo request packets and measures the time for echo replies to return. This round-trip time (RTT) helps diagnose network latency and connectivity issues.

Common ICMP Message Types
TypeNameDescription
0Echo ReplyResponse to ping request
3Destination UnreachableHost/network/port unreachable
8Echo RequestPing request packet
11Time ExceededTTL expired (used by traceroute)
TTL (Time To Live)

TTL starts at 64 (Linux), 128 (Windows), or 255 and decrements at each hop. When it reaches 0, the packet is discarded. The received TTL helps estimate network hops.

ICMP Blocked?

Many firewalls and cloud providers block ICMP. A failed ping doesn't always mean the host is down - the server might just be blocking ping requests.

IPv6 Address Examples
  • ::1 - IPv6 loopback (localhost)
  • 2001:4860:4860::8888 - Google Public DNS IPv6
  • ::ffff:192.168.0.1 - IPv4-mapped IPv6 address
