The PathPing command is a command-line network utility supplied in Windows 2000 and beyond that combines the functionality of ping with that of tracert. It is used to locate spots that have network latency and network loss.

This command sends multiple echo Request messages to each router between a source and destination, over a period of time, and then computes results based on the packets returned from each router.

Used without parameters, this command displays help.
