ICMP Bandwidth Test<br />

Description<br />

The ICMP test uses two standard echo-requests per second. The time between these pings can be<br />

changed. Ping packet size variation makes it possible to approximately evaluate connection<br />

parameters and speed with different packet sizes. Statistics for throughput is calculated using the<br />

size of the ICMP packet, the interval between ICMP echo-request and echo-reply and the<br />

differences between parameters of the first and the second packet.<br />
