Timeout
Timeout allow us to set the maximum time that the application will wait for the
destination to reply. when time exceed the timeout limit ping will output "Request timed out." for each request.
How to set timeout?
Different operating system allow different ways to set the timeout. in Microsoft
windows and Linux you can use the command ping -w <timeout> to set the timeout
Real Life Vs Simulation
Time field - In this Simulation we try to show how the application is using time to measure the
delay between your computer and the host, also called RTT. in real life you most likely to get different numbers
RTT field - Different Operating systems are using different default RTT. in this simulation the default RTT is 64
for all nodes in the network
Simulation
Timeout place an important role in testing network problems. Local network (LAN) usually should
result in a relatively low delay. Ping the 1st router and compare the timing to the 2nd router. you will see it is much shorter.
Try to give different values to the timeout to set different limitations.
