PING or ping

Stands - Packet Internet Groper
  
Ping is a computer network administration software utility used to test the reachability of a host on an Internet Protocol (IP) network and to measure the round-trip time for messages sent from the originating host to a destination computer and back.
Traditionally Ping refers to an Internet Program used to determine whether a specific IP addresss is accessible or not.It works by sending a packet to specified address and waiting for reply. The name comes from active sonar terminology that sends a pulse of sound and listens for the echo to detect objects under water; however, the backronym "PING" meaning "Packet InterNet Groper" has been in use since early days in computing for testing and measuring networks and the Internet.
          
                        
Application of Ping
1. To know IP address of any website : 

For this purpose we have to use ping command and type 
                  ping url 

ping www.google.com
PING www.google.com (74.125.130.105) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from sb-in-f105.1e100.net (74.125.130.105): icmp_seq=1 ttl=46 time=90.8 ms
64 bytes from sb-in-f105.1e100.net (74.125.130.105): icmp_seq=2 ttl=46 time=83.5 ms
64 bytes from sb-in-f105.1e100.net (74.125.130.105): icmp_seq=3 ttl=46 time=89.8 ms
64 bytes from sb-in-f105.1e100.net (74.125.130.105): icmp_seq=4 ttl=46 time=95.8 ms

2. To know specific IP address is Accessible or not :

 For this purpose we have to use ping command and type
                   ping ip address

ping 1.254.254.254

PING 1.254.254.254 (1.254.254.254) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from 1.254.254.254: icmp_seq=1 ttl=44 time=618 ms
64 bytes from 1.254.254.254: icmp_seq=2 ttl=44 time=432 ms
64 bytes from 1.254.254.254: icmp_seq=3 ttl=44 time=433 ms
64 bytes from 1.254.254.254: icmp_seq=4 ttl=44 time=496 ms
64 bytes from 1.254.254.254: icmp_seq=5 ttl=44 time=453 ms


 

Traditionally this term refers to an Internet program used to determine whether a specific IP address is accessible or online. It works by sending a packet to the specified address and waiting for a reply. PING (pronounced "ping" as in the game "ping pong") is used primarily to troubleshoot Internet connections. In addition, PING reports how many hops are required to connect two Internet hosts. There are both freeware and shareware PING utilities available for PCs.
Like many great technology terms, this term has morphed into a different spelling and meaning. Seen in email or text messages as "ping me when you get a chance" (not written in ALL CAPS like the acronym) it is used as slang for getting someone's attention. Another example is, "They've decided to fund the project, so make sure you ping Phil to get him on board." To "ping" someone means to send him or her an email or a text message. This new usage has lasting power and is commonly heard everyday in high-tech companies.

Secure Database Connectivity in node.js with mysql

Hi Everyone! Yesterday my friend Andrea from Italy asked me a question about secure Database connectivity in node.js with mysql i.e. he wants to a secure database connection in node.js for some secure keys like username,password,database name that we use during database connectivity.His problem is obviously right from security point of view as we know that JavaScript is client side scripting knowledge so it is compiled on client side so after inspecting page some one can be able to view these secure keys which I discussed previously. I surf internet and found there are various ways to solve this problem I am not discussing all of them here but also I discussing here two of them and after this discussion I think Andrea and other reader who are facing with same problem can be able to resolve their problem. I choose two ways to solve this problem. Connection code in app.js file Create a Json file Connection code in app.js file : Javascript is client side language and code i

Export data from mysql db to csv file using java

Hi friends ! Today I am discussing about simple but very important scenario. When we create any application then during creation of application we have face many scenarios like 1.Taking information from user and storing these information inside database : Generally such type of Operation is performed by user using form application 2.Taking Data from Database and Displaying on Page : We can perform such type of Operation in various ways like using JSP,JSTL tags or you can perform such operations using JQUERY also. 3.Taking Data from Database and download it in Excel or CSV format : In this we want our data from database and store it inside Excel or text files for further use. And we have chosen third scenario from discussion for performing this Operation we have to need three files exportCsv.html  :- this contains a button for clicking and performing exporting data from database Operation ExportData.java  :- It is a servlet class which defines connectivity from databas

API (Application Programming Interface)

Definition  1.A set of routines by which an application program can call specific programs or services of a computer operating system (OS) or network operating system (NOS). 2.A set of routines by which an application program allows another application program to work directly with it.            ( A pplication P rogramming I nterface) A language and message format used by an application program to communicate with the operating system or some other control program such as a database management system (DBMS) or communications protocol. APIs are implemented by writing function calls in the program, which provide the linkage to the required subroutine for execution. Thus, an API implies that a driver or program module is available in the computer to perform the operation or that software must be linked into the existing program to perform the tasks. Plenty of API Programming Is Done Understanding an API is a major part of what a programmer does. Except for
