networks. For example, assume the round-trip delay is 1.5 s according

to the use of ping and one of the connections to be interconnected has

a 56 kbps Internet connection, while the other location is connected

to the Internet via a T1 line operating at 1.544 Mbps. Because the

ratio of the T1 line to the 56 kbps connection is approximately 27 to

1, you might assume that the 56 kbps connection is the cause of the

bottleneck. In communications first appearances can be deceiving and

you would have to know the traffic load on each connection as well as

through the Internet. While the ping round-trip delay can be used to

determine if the networks can be interconnected without modifica-

tion, by itself ping will not indicat ...
