What does ping show us?

Question

Computer networks

Tell me, does ping show the time it takes for the client to exchange one packet with the server?
And how much, approximately, does one package weigh to contain all the data on 100 players?

Answer 1

yes, almost right. as a rule, ping shows the time during which, on average, the device that initiated the request receives a response from the addressee.
one packet containing all the data for a hundred players weighs about ninety times more than a packet containing all the data for one player. about how much the last one weighs, my crystal ball is silent.

Answer 2

man ping as usual will save the father of Russian democracy

-s packetsize
Specifies the number of data bytes to be sent. The default is 56, which translates into 64 ICMP data bytes when combined with the 8 bytes of ICMP header data.
