TABLE 1: PathPing Parameters
Parameter Definition
-n Specifies not to resolve addresses to host names.
-h maximum_hops Specifies the maximum number of hops to search for the target (default is 30).
-g host-list Lets intermediate gateways along the host-list separate consecutive computers.
-p period Specifies number of milliseconds (ms) to wait between consecutive pings (default is 250ms—i.e., 0.25 seconds).
-q num_queries Specifies number of queries to send each computer along the route (default is 100).
-T Attaches a Layer 2 priority tag (e.g., 802.1p) to the ping packets that the command sends to each of the network devices along the route. This parameter helps identify network devices that don't have Layer 2 priority configured.
-R Checks to see whether each network device along the route supports the Resource Reservation Protocol (RSVP), which lets the host computer reserve a certain amount of bandwidth for a data stream.
target_name Specifies the destination endpoint, which you identify by IP address or host name.
