And just to be clear, the lower the ping rate (latency), the faster server’s response time is. The ping rate is sometimes also called latency, and the terms are synonymous. Of these figures, the average ping rate (round-trip time) in milliseconds (ms) is probably the most useful to most people. In addition to raw ping rates (the minimum, maximum, and average round-trip times), it reports details such as errors, packet loss, and standard deviation from the mean. The Ping utility is available on almost all platforms and measures the round-trip time it takes for a packet of data to reach a server from your computer and then bounce back again to your computer. In common use, the term ping often refers directly to the ping rates themselves, so to avoid confusion we always capitalize the Ping utility and refer to ping rates in the lowercase in this article.
