How PING Works?

In the given topology, Host A is directly connected to Host B. When Host A initiates a PING, it generates an ICMP Echo Request packet. Host B receives this request and responds with an ICMP Echo Reply. This process verifies connectivity between the two hosts by measuring response time and ensuring successful packet transmission.
