 ====== Performing a Ping Test ======
-A 'ping' is a basic network test that will send messages across a network to a computer and measure the time lapsed from sending to receiving the messages.  It will record any packet loss and average trip times.  The ping test is testing UDP protocol of the TCP/IP stack.  UDP compared to TCP does not re-transmit aso when a package is lost or dropped, this can tell us something.  A very small percentage of packet loss may not be something to worry about.  Large amounts of packet loss could be a symptom of a hardware or network configuration issue.
