- It is very different from an [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ping_(networking_utility) ICMP Ping] because it includes on both ends: the full operating system network stack, the operating system scheduler, the Python interpreter with its threads and locking, TCP re-transmits. On a busy system, this value may well go up as other packets are ahead of the send queue at either end. A modern CPU should be able to keep this value around 50ms plus the TCP connection latency (TCP packet drops can cause this value to increase more dramatically).
