Generally, ping
command behaves differently between Linux and Windows. On a Windows host, it will only send 4 ICMP packets by default for each execution, unless you specify an amount. On a Linux host however, ping
will continuously send ICMP packets until you cancel the command, unless you specify an amount.
If you do a ping
from Cloud Shell (it’s a Linux host), add -c
follow by the number of packet you want ping
to send. For example:
ping -c 10 www.google.com
will send 10 packets to google.com and then stop.
