→‎Explanation of the ping options:
 
''' -s 1472 / -l 1472''' The option for payload size is -s, or -l on Windows. When setting size in ping, the size printed is the payload size - not the full packet size. '''The full packet size is''' <syntaxhighlight inline> payload (1472) + IP header (20) + ICMP header (8) </syntaxhighlight>, so this is 1500 in total!
 
Note: ping is slightly different on different operating systems, the above is a Debian machine.
 
On OSX (Apple), to perform a ping with the same options, you can use:
ping -c1 -D -s 1472 81.187.81.187
 
On a Windows machine to perform a ping with the same options, you can use:
ping -n 1 -f -l 1472 81.187.81.187
