The bing utility is a command line utility similar to "ping". It is run from the command line and tests the network using ICMP packets. In addition to providing network latencies it also calculates available bandwidth using differences in delay for different sized ICMP packets. The bing utility should be downloaded and run from the command line. For faster networks it is recommended that ICMP lengths of over 10000 be used to get more accurate bandwidth readings, however not all ICMP endpoints will respond to large (fragmented) ICMP echo requests.

Usage
Usage: bing [-h] [-t] [-d delay] [-l length] [-w timeout] [-s] target_name
Options:
-h This help
-t Bing the specified host until stopped. To stop - type Control-C.
-d delay Interval between tests in seconds Default is 5 seconds
-l Use To set the maximum ICMP message size Default is 1200 bytes. If the path allows it it is more accurate to use a larger value for throughput's over 2mbps i.e. -l 20000
-s Summary output - use for comma delimited import to excel
-w timeout Timeout in milliseconds to wait for each reply. Default is 5 seconds
