it really doesn't matter whether the number has 2, 3 or 4 digits
Jun 2, 2020 at 22:05 comment added phoog Ping also accepts four-digit numbers starting with zero, but the maximum value is 0377, which is 255.

Added note about leading zero.
Dec 30, 2014 at 7:34 comment added Dietrich Epp It's not because it has three digits, it's because the number has a leading zero. You can test this by trying to ping 09.09.09.09, which doesn't work because 9 isn't valid in octal.
