Exercise: Measuring RTT with Ping
Explore how to measure round-trip time (RTT) using the ping command to understand network latency and packet flow. This lesson helps you interpret ping outputs, including TTL values, to grasp how packets travel across routes, preparing you for deeper study of transport layer protocols and congestion control.

Just to recap the last lesson, the Round Trip Time of a connection is the amount of time it takes to send a packet and receive its acknowledgment.
The ping command can be used to ...
