The goal of communication protocols is to send and receive data with the highest regard to accuracy, so it is very important to have set regulation or standard. Also, in regards to speed, if you are transmitting information faster than the receiving end, the information could be terminated from transmitting. Bonding enables the NIC to set a priority for which the protocol is to process first. Protocol Priority has a direct impact on how fast the computer and NIC process communicates. Other problem areas that this would help would be in router performance and different aspects of the Internet, such as email.
PING is a utility that deals directly with system availability.
It checks to make sure that there is an availability of a specific host on the Internet. The time between sending and receiving a PING request is measured in milliseconds. Xerox PARC stands for the Palo Alto Research Center. I think was one of the largest contributions that put out. This approach was a paradigm shift that moved the computer industry away from the hierarchical world of centralized mainframes downloading to dumb terminals and toward more distributed access to information resources.
