I want to ping 1500 bytes of data from a pc to another pc in the network. What is command used for the same?

ping

Code:


-s packetsize
             Specify the number of data bytes to be sent.  The default is 56, which translates into 64 ICMP
             data bytes when combined with the 8 bytes of ICMP header data.

But, you did not mention whether you would want to do so with a single packet or multiple packets.

Ok, if multiple packets, your normal ping can do that after N number of packets. i.e

Code:


$ ping -c 17 IP
