3.
If the Router receives the ping reply, then the timer and counter will reset. If two servers are specified, the
ICMP echo request timing will be interleaved equally between the servers. For example, if the interval is
20 seconds, server 1 will be sent its first echo request at 0 seconds, and server 2 will be sent its first echo
request at 10 seconds. Server 1’s second request will be sent at 20 seconds, and so forth. If there are
more than three missed replies, then the connection will be terminated and restarted.
4.
