Ping Multiple Servers - Powershell GUI based tool

The term PING stands for - Packet InterNet Groper.
Packet Internet Groper is a computer program that is used to test the network connectivity between two systems.

Most ping utilities (sometimes called ping tools) use Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP).

• The output of ping varies depending on the tool. Standard results include: 
• IP address of the responding computer 
• Length of time (in milliseconds) between sending the request and receiving the response 
• An indication of how many network hops between the requesting and responding computers 
• Error messages if the target computer did not respond
