If you receive no respond at all (not request time out) means the devices / websites etc are non-existent but if you receive request timed out, means either your devices are malfunction/off or the website is down. For website, sometime you will receive request timed out but it does resolve to IP address means the website is up and running and does not allow to be ping.
