Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
A router has to respond to ping requests by law.
A
False
B
True
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Ping is a method to test network performance. Sending a Ping Packet to the WAN Port of a router, then the router is supposed to respond immediately. If there is no response or a delayed response, it means that the network is interrupted or the internet access is bad.

Detailed explanation-2: -Almost any network-connected device will respond to a ping which makes it incredibly valuable to check networking connections. Ping can be used to test routers or servers for throughput and speed. You can also ping across a range of addresses to find each attached device in a particular range.

Detailed explanation-3: -This can be caused by one of the following situations: The foreign host may not be listening to the network. The foreign host may be inoperative, or some network or gateway leading from the user to the foreign host may be inoperative. The foreign host may be slow because of activity.

Detailed explanation-4: -When a ping command is issued, a ping signal is sent to a specified address. When the target host receives the echo request, it responds by sending an echo reply packet. This approach serves two specific purposes: verifying that the target host is available and determining round-trip time (RTT) or latency.
