mtr (My Traceroute) combines the functionality of ping and traceroute and provides continuous, real-time information about network performance and packet loss. the -T uses TCP instead of ICMP. -P is port

If the traffic loss isn’t due to something QoS specific, like a queue filling up and just a network issue that all packets between the two hosts face, then the 50 ping option is a good one. You can also flood ping with -f to really put some packets down range to see what happens. I like the tcpdump option because you can filter for retransmits and even see which side of the conversation, is slow to respond.

Ping doesn't allow specifying a port, so mtr is better in this case.

ping works on ICMP/UDP. MTR allows to use specific port.

The mtr command (My Traceroute) is a network diagnostic tool that combines the functionality of ping and traceroute. The -T option specifies the use of TCP mode, and the -P 443 option sets the destination port to 443.

Selected Answer: A
ping: This command is commonly used to check network connectivity and measure round-trip time. The -c option allows you to specify the number of packets to send, and in this case, it's set to 50. By sending multiple packets, you can get a more accurate measure of packet loss.
