Ping isn't so amazing because nowadays routers depreciate ICMP packets (the protocol ping uses). So if a router is busy it will put the ping on a lower priority making the results less accurate. Its also getting more and more common for backbone routers to block ping altogethor.

Another thing for you to look out for is traceroute, or 'tracert' if your running windows.

You are all wrong!! Ping is the other half of Pong! The faster the ping the faster the pong and then the harder the return is to make! When you are the server you must hit a good ping to stop the returner from sending a good pong! As soon as one misses you have no ping nor no pong! Keep the ping pong happening as long as possible and you are surely going to enjoy your game a lot longer!
Hope this clears it up once and for all!

EDIT: I did forget to mention that 11 or 21 are the magical winning numbers for Ping Pong!

Ping vs. Pong

Grumpy,

Excellent information, thanks for the enlightenment! You sound very knowledgeable, and I was wondering, do you know who would win between ISIS and BGP4 (some goddess I guess...'n' the Boredom Gateway Patrol 4).

Keep up the good work and happy new year!
