1. Short for Packet InterNet Groper, ping is a utility used to verify if a network data packet is capable of being distributed to an address without errors. The ping utility is commonly used to check for network errors.
2. In computer gaming, a ping, also known as a high ping or low ping, is a measurement of how fast the connection to the game server the player has. For example, a player with a low 50 ping is going to have a better game experience than a player with a high 250 ping.

PING is used to know whether the computers in the network are connected properly or not for data transfer.
example: Suppose there is some error in transfer of data from one system to other in a LAN(say). Then you check using a PING command. If there is no reply, then there is a problem in network connection else error is somewhere else.
