Hi,

I've been running really long pings from my linux machine just too see what happens. The results posted here are probably more of a reflection on my ISP than the destinations (I have lightpath.net).

--- fuitadnet.com ping statistics ---
73537 packets transmitted, 70257 packets received, 4% packet loss
round-trip min/avg/max = 106.2/146.7/46695.2 ms

--- mae-east.cais.net ping statistics ---
261 packets transmitted, 260 packets received, 0% packet loss
round-trip min/avg/max = 15.5/28.0/255.6 ms

--- netshelter.net ping statistics ---
95047 packets transmitted, 81664 packets received, 14% packet loss
round-trip min/avg/max = 94.1/141.6/27965.9 ms

--- vdi.net ping statistics ---
60416 packets transmitted, 58616 packets received, 2% packet loss
round-trip min/avg/max = 12.1/31.8/17755.5 ms

I thought they were really interesting.. not because of the packet loss, but just because it was cool to leave ping running for hours.. heh.

hours? the noc where your box is located might consider it an attack. so be careful.

Yup, beware :) There is a game I play online (Ultime Online) and there is a program (UO Trace) that basically has all the servers listed and will ping the server over and over. Well, one time I forgot to close it... I tried to login about a day later and my account was banned :)

cimshimy, do you find it something funny, pinging the server for an hours?

and its useless because you didnt send the same amount of packets so the data is hard to compare
