I was messing around with the ping command on the terminal in Ubuntu, and I found something that confused me:
The Terminal makes an insane amount of send/receives, yet the Windows command prompt only sends a few packets and then exits. The only way I have been able to get a result is to use Ctl+C to stop the output on the Ubuntu Terminal.
What is going on here? I know that there is a large difference between the Windows command prompt and the terminal on Ubuntu, but I cannot figure out what that difference is. Is it possible that I am not using the correct syntax? (ping example.com)
Any ideas/help is appreciated.
They are two different programs, that have different default behavior. You can actually make one behave like another
On windows run:
On linux
