What is "Ping"

[Mr.LoLHaX]

My server has pretty low ping. Is that a good thing? I know I look/sound pretty stupid for asking this, but it has just been "shooting me in the head" and I need to know.

The ping for my server is usually 87, post yours, if you want too...

A low ping is good, a high ping is bad and means the servers/players are lagging

Why thank you. I won't lock cause a better explanation could be waiting. No offense.

What is pingas?
Distance in milliseconds between two points.
87 ping means it takes 87 milliseconds between you and whatever you are pinging(round-trip). If you're pinging your own server and have a ping greater than 10ms, you have a big issue. It is definitely 0 ping if you "query lan".

Ping Jitter is how much the pings varied while they were being tested.

Put WD-40 on it for good measure.

How to have DISTANCE varying?

How to have DISTANCE varying?

What?
This is like saying "Page created in 0.077 seconds with 24 queries. " will always be the same.

[Chrono]

Seconds and queries are not distance.

It's like saying "I am 5 feet away from my table, but without moving at all, I am now 14 feet away."

What I said was perfectly fine.
