Two trips.              However, the speed test may also show the "ping time". Perhaps "round       ping time". This can be estimated using time stamps, I believe. The ping       command does print that info.              --       Cheers, Carlos.       ES🇪🇸, EU🇪🇺;              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
