Solve : ping results - find latency?

Answer»

can someone please help me determine the latency of my connection to server xxx.xxx.xxx.16? I am not fammiliar with the ping results.. please help

ping XXX.XXX.XXX.16

Pinging XXX.XXX.XXX.16 with 32 bytes of data:

Reply from XXX.XXX.XXX.16: bytes=32 time=221ms TTL=119
Reply from XXX.XXX.XXX.16: bytes=32 time=220ms TTL=119
Reply from XXX.XXX.XXX.16: bytes=32 time=230ms TTL=119
Reply from XXX.XXX.XXX.16: bytes=32 time=220ms TTL=119

Ping statistics for XXX.XXX.XXX.16:
Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 4, Lost = 0 (0% loss),
Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds:
Minimum = 220ms, Maximum = 230ms, Average = 222msNeed more info. If you are using WinXP and have QOS INSTALLED, use the QTCP utility with the -k3 switch if you notice clock jumps in the timestamps. Useful with the P4 chip.

For more details on QTCP, type QTCP /? at a cmd prompt.

Hope this helps. Ping only gives the roundtrip time to the server being pinged. If you need to find out where the slow down is, use tracert. You can look at the response time for each hop to see where the slow down occurs.Quote

here's the tracert results. can i find the latency here??? sorry i dont know how to measure it... thanks for the help.

tracert xxxxx.com

Tracing route to xxxx.xxx.com [1xx.xxx.xxx.xx]
over a maximum of 30 hops:

1 12 ms 9 ms 9 ms xxxxxx.xxxxxx.xxxxxxxx
2 9 ms 9 ms 9 ms xxxxxx.xxxxxx.xxxxxxxx
3 9 ms 9 ms 9 ms xxxxxx.xxxxxx.xxxxxxxx
4 180 ms 179 ms 180 ms xxxxxx.xxxxxx.xxxxxxxx
5 180 ms 180 ms 180 ms xxxxxx.xxxxxx.xxxxxxxx
6 260 ms 220 ms 220 ms xxxxxx.xxxxxx.xxxxxxxx
7 280 ms 220 ms 220 ms xxxxxx.xxxxxx.xxxxxxxx
8 220 ms 220 ms 320 ms xxxxxx.xxxxxx.xxxxxxxx
9 240 ms 220 ms 220 ms xxxxxx.xxxxxx.xxxxxxxx
10 270 ms 220 ms 220 ms xxxxxx.xxxxxx.xxxxxxxx

Trace complete.Hop number 4 seems to be what is dragging everything down.Homework.Quote

sorry fed, but this is not homework-im too old for SCHOOL. someone just asked me the latency of our connection...i am just not familiar with the jargon and how to get that... i am more of a unix and peoplesoft guy.Latency, the amount of time it takes a PACKET to travel from source to destination.
I guess that technically means from the pinger to the pingee but I suspect the answer really is from the pinger to the pingee then back to the pinger again.
Clear as mud?
111ms or 222ms depending on your desire to argue with the person who asked you.
Just tell him to ping off. thanks fed!ping off...i like that one Fed !

patio.
