How to Change The Default Ping Packet Size?

Post by jmcu »

I am conducting an experiment with ping packets in my home network. The default packet size of ping is 32 bytes. I want to change the size to 64 bytes to conclude my experiment.

My question is -how can I change the default ping packet size?

You can use this DOS command to change the default Ping packet size.

Code: Select all

ping -l (value between 0 to 65500) [Destination Address]

See the example below.
ping -i 455 google.com
