Odd you should use that example. For years I've checked to see if I'm 
having a network problem with

$ ping 8.8.8.8
PING 8.8.8.8 (8.8.8.8) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from 8.8.8.8: icmp_seq=1 ttl=112 time=81.3 ms
64 bytes from 8.8.8.8: icmp_seq=2 ttl=112 time=82.0 ms
64 bytes from 8.8.8.8: icmp_seq=3 ttl=112 time=81.3 ms


'whois 2607:f8b0:4023:1002::6a' and 'whois 8.8.8.8' both come up with 

OrgName:        Google LLC
OrgId:          GOGL
Address:        1600 Amphitheatre Parkway
City:           Mountain View

Sure I could ping www.google.com  but typing 7 characters beats 14 any 
day.
