FAQ

Common questions 3 questions

What is ping used for?

Ping is used to test the reachability of a host on an IP network and to measure the Round Trip Time (RTT) for messages sent from the originator to a destination computer.

What is acceptable ping latency?

For general browsing, under 100ms is fine. For gaming or low-latency applications, 20ms to 50ms is considered excellent.

What does "100% packet loss" mean?

It means the host is completely unreachable or actively blocking ICMP traffic (the ping request). This often indicates a severe network block or firewall issue.
