Utility Ping: Why you need a file?
When you are operating many website links or doing an intranet connection test, it would be necessary for you to categorize them into different groups and each group is organized in a file ended with ".ipl".
For example, the URL for entertainment or education or news can be put in respective files named entertain.ipl, edu.ipl or news.ipl. Suppose you want to read latest news, load the news.ipl, ping all the news websites and check all the connections. This will give you a clear idea of which website works and which does not.
Another example, the IP addresses for the Computer Department are between 192.168.0.1 and 192.168.0.66, for the Chemistry Department, between 192.168.0.67 and 192.168.0.127, so it would be convenient for you to save or import these IP addresses in computer.ipl and chemistry.ipl respectively. If you want to test the connections within the intranet, just load the .ipl files and ping those IP addresses.
These examples are just illustration of how a file may be composed, you can manage a file at your convenience.
Another type of file is the log file. It is helpful when you want to record the history information of the ping process. The history information is saved in a file ended with ".log". The content of the log files include the time when the ping occurred, ttl time, ping time in MS unit and packet size in BYTE unit.
