hi, i have 2 servers, ping to ServerA is always higher than ServerB. but download speed from ServerA is always faster than ServerB.:rolleyes:

can anyone please tell me why there is a funny result like this? why is ServerB got a lower ping, but the speed ain't as great as ServerA which has higher ping?!

thanks.

Part it has to do with location, and routing. Because the PING can't be less than the speed of light.

Also, PINGs only measure latency, whereas is speed is more about throughput.
