seconds; the default is 1 second.

• do—Prohibits fragmentation, even for local packets; sets a do-not-fragment
(DF) flag.
• dont—Prohibits fragmentation; however, does not set DF flag.
• want—Performs PMTU discovery, fragments locally when packet size
is large.
(Optional) The number of data bytes to be added to the ping packet. The range
is 1 to 65468 bytes. The default is 56 bytes, which results in a 64-byte packet
