- coldcity_again 5mo agoYes, very much so. A ping is a request, a pong a response.
- dymk 5mo ago2 bytes is a short…
- mghackerlady 5mo ago2 bytes is a wyde. Because, to quote knuth, "two bytes makes one wyde"
- technothrasher 5mo agoI've heard people use that a lot, but the original metaphor was sonar not table tennis. So it is more appropriately an echo reply (which is what the ICMP return packet is called in the RFC).
- johnwalkr 5mo agoI'll give you another one: In Japanese there is the (unserious) term "enbug" which is the opposite of debug.
