bytes worth of ICMP header followedby an arbitrary ammount of data.
Standard is 56, maximum is 9999 bytes.

How many sec should ping wait after sending a packet before it
sends the next packet.
Pattern(s) to send (Hex)?
The data which is send by ping will be filled with this (hex-)pattern.
If you leave this blank ping will fill it with random data. This is useful
if you do not have problems with connectivity itself but with data loss.

received are listed.

From the man page of ping: No attempt will be made to lookup symbolic names
for host addresses.

an interface that has no route through it.
