1    /ADDRESS

       /ADDRESS=xx.xx.xx.xx

    Optional.

    Specifies the IP address of the host to which the test packets
    are sent.

2    /ALL

    Optional. Default: Not all requests.

    Displays all ICMP ECHO_REQUESTs, even if not in direct response
    to this operation.

3    /FULL

    Optional.

    Numeric output only. No attempt is made to look up symbolic names
    for host addresses. This occurs only when displaying ICMP packets
    other than ECHO_RESPONSE.

4    /NUMBER_PACKETS

       /NUMBER_PACKETS=n

    Optional. Default: 4 packets

    Specifies the number of packets to send. If you specify 0,
    packets are sent continuously until you terminate it with Ctrl/C.

5    /PACKET_SIZE

       /PACKET_SIZE=n

    Optional. Default: 64 bytes.

    Specifies the size of the ICMP ECHO_REQUEST.

6    /PATTERN

       /PATTERN="hexadecimal-string"

    Optional.

    Fills out the packet you send with up to 16 bytes, which is
    useful for diagnosing data-dependent problems. The string is a
    hexadecimal string of up to 32 characters (16 bytes).

    For example, /PATTERN="ff" causes the sent packet to be filled
    with ones (1).

7    /ROUTE

       /ROUTE
       /NOROUTE

    Optional. Default: /ROUTE.

    /ROUTE     Request is routed through the normal routing tables.

    /NOROUTE   Normal routing tables are bypassed.
               If the host is not on the LAN, you get an error.

8    /WAIT

       /WAIT=n

    Optional.

    Specifies the number of seconds to wait between sending packets.
