[4] The arp command displays and modifies the IP-to-Physical address translation tables used by
address resolution protocol (ARP). The Internet address is 192.168.40.253. 192.168.40.254, 192.168.40.255, 224.0.022, 224.0.0.252, 239.255.255.250, 255.255.255.255.

[5] Ping is a computer network admin utility that use for measure time for sent message from host to the target computer. The output tells me that how many bytes  are used to communicate with the target computer and the time used to reply my computer and the Time to Live value, TTL.
             


After I typed in “ping localhost” in the command prompt, the command prompts shows that the command prompt is commencing to ping my own computer. The IP address is ::1:.When I type in “ping loopback”, I got the exact same output of “ping localhost”. My IP is still 127.0.0.1 ::1: means that the default 127.0.0.1. The IP address was assigned by the OS by default for loopback test.

The “ping localhost command” pings the computers in a local area network and because it’s in localhost. So ping packets will not pass through any physical network interface. By entering “ping loopback” command into the command prompt,  the ping packets will pass through a virtual loop back interface which directly sends the packets from port to port with no physical hops.

Output of “ping localhost” command from the command prompt :
 

Output of “ping loopback” command from the command prompt.
