Ping test - measure DSL response times |
Whenever response time is critical over internet, e.g. for real-time applications such as internet telephony (VoIP, Voice Over IP) and online games, data has to reach the target server without time delay. The time required for data transmission is called latency time.
The time it takes for a data packet to travel from a computer, and back, is called the Round Trip Time. This time is important, because it is the time your communication takes (imagine conventional letters and faster emails).
Only a short response time, i.e. a fast ping, allows for communication in real time. Test now the delay time on your connection.
