The -r option provides a means of checking the network reachability of a host, an IP address, or a pair of local and remote IP addresses.
The reachability can also be monitored by specifying the <!-- a -->-W (watch)<!-- /a --> option. This will result in the current status being reported as well as the status when/if the network configuration changes.
