Paping is a computer network administration utility used to test the reachability of a host on an Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) network and to measure the time it takes to connect to a specified port. The name is a play on the word ping, another computer network administration utility.

Paping operates by attempting to connect to a Internet Protocol TCP/IP port on the target. In the process it measures the time taken for a connection to be established and records any connection failures. The results of the test are printed in form of a statistical summary of the connections made including the minimum, maximum, and the mean connection times.

Paping is cross-platform software, currently supporting Windows and Linux^[1]

Sample ping test

The following is a sample output of paping against en.wikipedia.org on TCP/IP port 80 (http) under Windows:
