Help with ping testing

[Ethelred]

When I check the value of pingLatest, I get a string such as "api:10:89:102:934:19620:93.40". The first 3 chars seem to be the KoL page being used as the target for the ping test and the last 5 chars seem to the ping time. I have no idea what all the info inbetween means. Is there a way to get an explaination from mafia? Is it documented some place I don't know about? Or can someone smarter than me explain it to me? I'd like to use it in my daily startup script to help me understand how good my connection is. Thanks in advance.

api - you pinged api.php
10 - you did it 10 times
89 - the fastest ping took 89 msec
102 - the slowest ping took 102 msec
934 - the whole test of 10 pings took 934 msec
19620 - that many bytes were received (1962 per ping)
93.40 - average ping time in msec (934/10)

pingShortest shows your best ever ping test.
pingLongest shows your worst.

Compare what pingLatest shows you to those other two to decide how this connection compared to what you have seen in the past.

Thanks for the details. It makes a lot more sense now.
