Every hop negatively affects performance, but you also obtain additional path information.
The minimum value of count is 1 and the maximum value is 9.
-s count Specifies that the system record the timestamp in the Internet Timestamp option in
the IP header for each hop. The minimum value of count is 1 and the maximum value is 4.
-j host-list Specifies that the Echo Request messages used as part of defining the path
between one point and another use the Loose Source Route option in the IP header with the set
of intermediate destinations. The PING utility creates the list of servers that it outputs by
extending the path between the source and destination by one machine for each call. The target
machine??”the one that??™s at the end of the line??”receives an Echo Request message that requests
that machine??™s name, which is why you receive a list of hosts as part of the output. This option
lets the command use a number of intermediate routers to speed the process of defining the path
between one machine and another. The results are less accurate, but you receive them faster.
-k host-list Specifies that the Echo Request messages used as part of defining the path
between one point and another use the Strict Source Route option in the IP header with the set
of intermediate destinations.
