I would like to know, in this ping reply
64 bytes from xxxxxxxx: icmp_req=1 ttl=51 time=51.1 ms
64 bytes from xxxxxxxx: icmp_req=2 ttl=51 time=50.1 ms
64 bytes from xxxxxxxx: icmp_req=3 ttl=51 time=50.6 ms
--- xxxxxxx ping statistics ---
3 packets transmitted, 3 received, 0% packet loss, time 2002ms
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 50.112/50.614/51.101/0.480 ms
what is “time 2002ms”?
Why is it usually omitted? I have never seen it in other ping tests
It’s the time from the first sent ping packet to the last sent ping packet. In your example, from the first to the third sent packet (two one second intervals separating them)
The reason it’s often omitted is that it’s not usually very relevant information for a user, since the relevant information usually is how many packets were sent and received, and what the round trip was.
