Hi<br />
<br />
I would go with 8.8.8.8 (google US) for overseas and local you should be able to determine yourself. Any website located in au should do.<br />
<br />
Example for local can be 117.53.167.33 <a href="http://www.visitvictoria.com/" rel="ugc">http://www.visitvictoria.com/</a>

Some ISP filter ICMP under determined circumstances (high bandwidth usage, mitigate any kind of attack...) consider add additional test to determine if your internet connection is UP or DOWN (some ISP provide any tool to do this).

You can ping <a href="http://www.google.com" rel="ugc">www.google.com</a>. They allow icmp ping and they are always up.<br />
<br />
The good thing about pinging a FQDN is, you can be sure that your dns is also working.<br />
<br />
On the routers, we can send tcp probes to check the conctivity. Its good to ensure availablity to internet not limiting to isp next-hop.

Best IP address to ping to confirm local and overseas internet is up

The Internet Protocol (IP) is the principal communications protocol in the Internet protocol suite for relaying datagrams across network boundaries, organized in abstraction layers, traditionally called "Link," "Internet," "Transport" and "Application”. Its routing function enables internetworking, and essentially establishes the Internet. IP defines packet structures that encapsulate the data to be delivered. It also defines addressing methods that are used to label the datagram with source and destination information.

Internet Protocols

Networking is the process of connecting computing devices, peripherals and terminals together through a system that uses wiring, cabling or radio waves that enable their users to communicate, share information and interact over distances. Often associated are issues regarding operating systems, hardware and equipment, cloud and virtual networking, protocols, architecture, storage and management.

Networking

The Domain Name System (DNS) is a hierarchical, globally distributed system responsible for associating the name of a computer, service or other resource into an IP address for connecting to the Internet or a private network. Most prominently, it translates domain names to the numerical IP addresses needed for the purpose of computer services and devices worldwide.
