Subject: how reliable is ping?
Date: Mon, 6 Dec 2004 10:19:19 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <200412061019.19099.fluca1978@infinito.it> (raw)
Hi,
in my company we installed a new DSL line, supposed to be faster than the
previous one. And in fact it seems to be, in interactive use, but if I use
ping to test connectivity against the old line I can see higher times. So my
questions is: why does ping show high times and then the line goes faster? Is
ping reliable enough to test network speed, or should I use another tool? (at
last, a chrono and a file transfer!)
Thanks,
Luca
