Hi all,

I want get ping output with time intervals.

For eg:
in hp-ux
64 bytes from 10.11.7.140: icmp_seq=324. time=0. ms
timr shows in 0.

but in windows
Reply from 192.168.203.170: bytes=32 time=156ms TTL=244
Reply from 192.168.203.170: bytes=32 time=156ms TTL=244

Please anybody help me on this.

Regards,
himacs

Hi:

...another good reason not to use Windows :-)

Seriously, you don't show the route from/to. You could do a 'traceroute' for example.

Your ping is probably faster than my ping

Ooops, cut'n'paste problem:

64 bytes from 1.2.3.4: icmp_seq=0. time=17. ms

but faster

64 bytes from 127.0.0.1: icmp_seq=1. time=0. ms

and on windows:

To say it more clearly, if time is <1ms then you see 0ms.

the output is what it is. as torsen stated, sub-millisecond times report as "0". What more do you want?

ping is, after all, a very simple tool used to verify network connectivity, and not necessarly identify bottlenecks and such.

what are you attempting to use it for that the existing results are not acceptable?

Basically hp-ux and windows are telling the same; 0.x ms or < 1ms.

What's the problem? Too fast?

Congratulations, you have a fast network!

BTW, sometimes I hate this colorful OS on my PC that can't be used without a mouse, but a few commands are quite nice.

Did you ever try

C:\> pathping

C:\> pathping /?

Usage: pathping [-g host-list] [-h maximum_hops] [-i address] [-n]
[-p period] [-q num_queries] [-w timeout] [-P] [-R] [-T]
[-4] [-6] target_name

Options:
-g host-list Loose source route along host-list.
-h maximum_hops Maximum number of hops to search for target.
-i address Use the specified source address.
-n Do not resolve addresses to hostnames.
-p period Wait period milliseconds between pings.
-q num_queries Number of queries per hop.
-w timeout Wait timeout milliseconds for each reply.
-P Test for RSVP PATH connectivity.
-R Test if each hop is RSVP aware.
-T Test connectivity to each hop with Layer-2 priority tags.
-4 Force using IPv4.
-6 Force using IPv6.

Have fun!
