How do you do a ping with an increase packet size? Greater then the default 64.

ping [-oprv] [-i address] [-t ttl] host packet-size [[-n] count]

max is 4096b

Jeff,

ping hostname packet-size, e.g.

% ping host1 80
PING host1.company.com: 80 byte packets
80 bytes from 172.16.223.66: icmp_seq=0. time=1. ms
80 bytes from 172.16.223.66: icmp_seq=1. time=0. ms
80 bytes from 172.16.223.66: icmp_seq=2. time=0. ms
80 bytes from 172.16.223.66: icmp_seq=3. time=0. ms

Hi,

you can use:

# ping 1000

# man ping
...
packet-size The size of the transmitted packet, in bytes. By
default (when packet-size is not specified), the size
of transmitted packets is 64 bytes. The minimum
value allowed for packet-size is 8 bytes, and the
maximum is 4095 bytes. If packet-size is smaller
than 16 bytes, there is not enough room for timing

Best regards,
Armin
