Well this man wrote the one program that causes me more problems than any other. Even more problems than that horrible cisco term flapping. Yes I am sad to say… this man wrote the ping program. Not only did he write it, but he wrote it in one night with no planning. Bastard I say!
Ping is a program that helps tell if the network is working. But it provides very little information. I work in a company that supplies networks. So people say the worst things like – there was 10% packet loss when I used Ping. Or worse, I sent these humungus pings and they all failed!
