Ping Or Latency

Ping or Latency measure - a ping measures the time in milliseconds that it takes for a packet of data to travel from your computer to a remote computer and back to you again. Just because you can't ping a given host, quite a lot of providers are beginning to filter ICMP (pings come under this protocol) traffic - because it is commonly used to attack hosts in denial of service attacks, for example, and because it also wastes a lot of valuable Internet bandwidth.

Many Internet providers also give low priority to ping (ICMP) traffic which may mean that your ping at a command line isn't very good, but in say online gaming, things may be fine. Pings are also used in the blogging world to inform a directory or search engine just when a blog has been updated.

So you have blog and ping and recently, tag and ping too. These are very quick methods of sending a packet of data about submission info to keep Internet services up to date. They are associated with the rss and .xml format commonly used by news aggregators.
