title: Difference Between Ping on Windows and Ubuntu
body: <p>I was messing around with the <code>ping</code> command on the terminal in Ubuntu, and I found something that confused me:</p>
  
  <p>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 <code>Ctl+C</code> to stop the output on the Ubuntu Terminal. </p>
  
  <p>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? (<code>ping example.com</code>)</p>
  
  <p>Any ideas/help is appreciated.</p>
