+## ping/reachability analyzer
+
+yosoy includes a simple ping/reachability analyzer. You can use this functionality when prototyping distributed systems to validate whether a given component can reach a specific endpoint. yosoy exposes a dedicated `/_/yosoy/ping` endpoint which accepts the following 4 query parameters:
+
+* `h` - required - hostname of the endpoint
+* `p` - required - port of the endpoint
+* `n` - optional - network, all valid Go networks are supported (including the most popular ones like `tcp`, `udp`, IPv4, IPV6, etc.). If `n` parameter is not provided, it defaults to `tcp`. If `n` parameter is set to unknown network, an error will be returned.
+* `t` - optional - timeout in seconds. If `t` parameter is not provided, it defaults to `10`. If `t` contains invalid integer literal, an error will be returned.
