Answer here!

Briefly, "ping -L 64 192.168.1.1" means issue the ping command with a length of 64 bytes to the IP quoted. The L isn't case sensitive i think.

As a general rule, in the cmd window, 'command /?' gives help with the usage and parameters, e.g. ping /?

 

Also try 'help|more' for a list of some commands.
