Reading the results

Each reply line contains a time= value measured in milliseconds. That's the round-trip time from your machine to the datacenter and back. Lower is better — values under 80 ms feel excellent for gaming, under 40 ms is ideal.

Example: Reply from 93.184.216.34: bytes=32 time=42ms TTL=52 means the round trip took 42 ms.
