It's just mtr or ping. No magic here.

Is this an artifact of ping or a standard?

I think ping is measured round trip

danieltillett Oct 13, 2014 View on HN

Pings are still pretty slow - 200ms or so.

It's all about ping time, man!

onemoreact Aug 24, 2011 View on HN

Sorry, that 3ms ping suggests you are inside their network. Try getting that over the internet.

Clearly you need to send multiple redundant PINGs. ICMP delay line memory RAID.

But goodness the ping time sucks in that one!

Try mtr, it's like a combination ping/traceroute

Check your ping time. Try a traceroute.
