While ping is not the greatest of methods for determining a meaningful
metric, it does give a pretty good idea on a comparative basis when
viewed with a large body of data.

Two pings is not, however, very statictically meanginfull and
it more "rough" than "metric"  as a "rough metric". 10 or 20
would be better; better yet would be to sample once an hour.
