Post Your Ping Test Results - Overclock.net

From Speedtest.net, this is a new test for your packet loss, ping times, jitter rates and line quality. Enjoy!

I'll get things going so here's mine:

Wired to my home network. Network is two routers, and 6 PC's on it with two PC's doing major up/downloading 24/7 for server/web casting service.

Explanation of each test:

Jitter Jitter is merely the variance in measuring sucessive ping tests. Zero jitter means the results were exactly the same every time, and anything above zero is the amount by which they varied. Like the other quality measurements, a lower jitter value is better. And while some jitter should be expected over the Internet, having it be a small fraction of the ping result is ideal.
Ping This measurement tells how long it takes a "packet" of data to travel from your computer to a server on the Internet and back. Whenever you experience delayed responses in Internet applications - this would be due to a higher than desired ping. Similar to packet loss, lower is better when it comes to ping. A result below 100 ms should be expected from any decent broadband connection.
Packet Loss Much as it sounds, if you have anything less than complete success in transmitting and receiving "packets" of data then you are experiencing this problem with your Internet connection. It can mean much slower download and upload speeds, poor quality VoIP audio, pauses with streaming media and what seems like time warping in games -- your connection may even come to a total standstill! Packet loss is a metric where anything greater than 0% should cause concern.
Line Quality This I hope is obvious. This is the overall result of the quality of your network line.

Hope this helps any confusion or questions on your results! Enjoy!
