   The speed test measures how long it takes to send a large bunch of data.   
   This is different from the time it takes to send a single packet,   
   because as you say, the time for the answer to get back to you means you   
   measure double the time. 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.
