Several of the responses returned by `ping -q -c 50 -i 12 xxxxx` had lines like the following: rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 501.663/12212.524/60863.587/15003.409 ms, pipe 6 I searched the web using Google, and I came up with several queries concerning a response of "pipe n", but none of them were ever answered specifically. One did mention something about pinging across a VPN connection, and I was indeed pinging across an openvpn connection, if that has any relevance. Please respond e-mail direct, if you have an answer. I haven't joined the mail list just to get an answer to this one minor question.
