what exactly does the acronym ping stands for ?
AFAIK there are 2 explanations
1) it stands for packet Internet groper
2) ping command is named after the sound , which the sonar equipment used in submarine makes
(I got this information from Linux for you Jan 2009 edition magazine)
which is the correct explanation ? or is there any other explanation ?
