psping: Specify the number of pings and perform it quietly.
$ psping ${hostname} -n ${pings} -q
try on your machine

This command is using the psping tool to measure network latency or delay between the local computer and a specified hostname. Here is the explanation of the command components:

  • psping: It is a command-line utility developed by Microsoft that allows you to measure network performance by sending ICMP echo requests (similar to ping) or TCP/IP protocol-based packets.
  • ${hostname}: It is a placeholder that should be replaced with the actual hostname or IP address of the target computer or network device you want to test the latency to. For example, you might replace it with google.com or 192.168.1.1.
  • -n ${pings}: The -n flag is used to specify the number of echo requests to be sent. ${pings} is a placeholder representing the number of pings you want to send. Replace it with the desired value, such as 10 or 100.
  • -q: This flag is used to enable quiet mode, which means it only displays the final summary after all pings have been sent and doesn't show each individual ping response.

In summary, the command pings the specified hostname or IP address for a specified number of times and displays the summary of the latency measurements.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
