1.1 Introduction to HWPing
HWPing is a network diagnostic tool used to test the performance of protocols (only
ICMP by far) running on network. It is an enhanced alternative to the ping command.
HWPing test group is a set of HWPing test parameters. A test group contains several
test parameters and is uniquely identified by an administrator name plus a test tag.
You can perform an HWPing test after creating a test group and configuring the test
parameters.
Different from the ping command, HWPing does not display the round trip time (RTT)
and timeout status of each packet on the console terminal in real time. You need to
execute the display hwping command to view the statistic results of your HWPing test
operation. HWPing allows setting the parameters of HWPing test groups and starting
HWPing test operations through network management system.
