No. Ping can only measure how fast the other end is reached. Only way to determine how fast connection (to the other end) you have, is to "max out" the connection - ie. send/receive something sufficiently large and see how long it takes. -- Markku Uttula ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Register Now & Save for Velocity, the Web Performance & Operations Conference from O'Reilly Media.
