I am just playing with the Ping command and would like some help understanding it.
I used Ping on Google and 4 Packets of 32 Bytes of Data went out and came back.
And the TTL for eatch Packet was like this
TTL = 30 ms
TTL = 31 ms
TTL = 30 ms
TTL = 29 ms
Now I know that this is how long each Packet took to go and come back.
And it should stay under 50 ms. and anything over something is wrong.
But how do ppeople findout how far away the server is from just Pinging it?
I know 1,000 ms = 1 SEC. so if my Pakets took 31 ms to get to and come back from google does this mean the server is how many MIN. away it is?
