Ping times spike

[Larry(LJL269)]

I've pinged a site over 500 times over 3 days. Most r 40-45ms but
every 1oth-15th one is 400-999ms. 2 Q's r
1-what r possable causes?
2- what would u use in any calculations for latency? My guess-
ignore 400-999 ms points.

Any & all comments/suggestions are welcome.
Your help is MUCH appreciated. Thanks- bye- Larry

I am surprise that the site didn't block your IP address. I don't see how
this relates to MS Internet Explorer in any way.

A working unsecure OS is infinitely better than non-working secure OS.
Just spent 1 week cleaning up the mess WUpdate made preventing
hypothetical security problems. http://microscum.com/comsense/

That site is full of FUD. I've only seen two Windows Updates that "sort of"
broke anything. I have *never* had to clean up a mess after a Windows
Update. Of course, if a computer isn't clean, free of malware, or it has a
wad of adware to "enhance" your Internet experience, I can imagine how WUP
could expose a nasty problem.

I've seen up-to-date anti virus make a hash of things to the point I had to
reinstall the OS. I recommend against McAfee over that one.

I am surprise that u responded since u had nothing to contribute.

For a bit more accurate estimate of latency in RWindow
calculation, ...you can try pinging a larger number of hosts, and with
larger packet sizes (default is 32-byte packets that tend to travel
faster

My latest nitemare which u wont get unless u save draft messages to
HDD is at
http://groups.google.com/group/micr...e736b?lnk=st&q=&rnum=1&hl=en#1365423f0c1e736b
which was preceeded by 3-4 others & 1/3 criticals were n/a when I
did 4 clicks & read tech notes which took 20min each.

Just my 2¢ worth. Larry

What can anybody contribute to post in a news group about MSFT browsers,
when the post has nothing to do with browser issues?

Large packets can bend the laws of physics? Since when? The rate of travel
in a medium is dictated by the physics of propagation for that medium
(whether copper, or fiber). And not entirely related to latency.

Latency is affected by many exterior factors; but Internet web browsers have
little impact on latency. For most purposes, the extra effort at pinging
large numbers of hosts with varying packet sizes isn't worth the minute gain
you can achieve in tweaking RWIN. Getting a rough calculation is good
enough.

I have *all* current patches, and *no* trouble saving draft messages to HDD.
Of course, I mostly use Pegasus Mail for email, and 40tude Dialog for news.
Can't be helped if people insist on using broken software applications, such
as MS Outlook Express. MSFT is within their rights to tweak the
functionality for security, if they so choose. I get numerous connection
attempts to my MTA from insecure OSes, though; and I have to wonder how many
of those users are cursing MSFT for providing a dog slow OS; never looking
at what their insecure computer is actually doing.

u missed the point.
