Ping packet size to save bandwidth

Dhavalpatel12 — Thu, 21 Jul 2011 06:15:39 +0000

I want to Ping continuously to my WAN Link Gateway from my system to know the availability & reachability of the Link.

If I am doing so then certainly it will consume some precious bandwidth.

So my question is ,what will be minimum possible optimized vaule of a Ping packet So as to save maximum bandwidth ?

By default it is 32 bytes.

Random Request timed out when ping router?

Softtools — Sat, 04 Jul 2009 18:44:52 +0000

I just noticed my internet was unstable and slow.

I connected my laptop directly with leased line modem, I can able to work & ping without request timeout

But when I connected through router am facing this problem, Random Request timed out when ping with router

I am suspecting the problem with router configuration

So I restarted the router again the same problem…

Cisco routing problem

Jdleon — Tue, 16 Jun 2009 03:57:41 +0000

I have a Cisco router (routerA) at a remote site, which connects point-to-point to the HQ site (routerB), and it needs to communicate to another router (routerC) that is connected at the HQ site. From the CLI in routerA I cannot ping routerC, but from a PC located with routerA, I can open a dos prompt and ping to routerC with no problems. If I do a traceroute from routerA to see where the packets are going as it reaches routerC – I get nothing. But if I do a tracert from the PC, it shows the trace all the way to router C. Why am I not getting any results in routerA, but do in the PCs?
