Description
p4 ping simulates Perforce network traffic by sending
messages from the versioning service to the Perforce application and back,
and times the round trips. Round-trip times are reported in milliseconds.
Because the round-trip time is typically too fast to measure for a single
message, you can specify a message count
per
test.
