Hi all,

My PING test often can't reach the destination. Usually I could get two
error message.One is "request time out", and the other is "Destination host
unreachable".
Would you please give me some information about the meaning of these two
error message?
Any help will be appreciated.

"Request time out" means your host has a route to the destination, but the
destination doesn't respond. "Destination host unreachable" means there is
no route to the destination.
