Homeplugs (ethernet over power) are fine for some things, but they add so much latency to the network.

Wired is so much better.

    ping is a tool/protocol-function to measure round trip time. one computer sends out the ping, the recipient replies with a pong, and the initiator outputs the time it took from sending out the request to getting the response. it works on most destinations (just open a commandline and “ping google.com”) so it’s not max time, but actual measured time for a single roundtrip. as processing time is minimal this is considered to be the network-latency.

      My answer is in the image I didn’t see the blue dot. It’s average time, not max time, seen in the network.
