The question is above.
Any link/idea is well appreciated.
My best regards…
Yes, it does – theoretically
The ping time is the sum of
- the processing and send time on the initiating side,
- the signal transport time on the cable,
- the receive time,
- processing time
- and send time on the replying side,
- the signal transport time on the cable
- the receive and processing time on the initiating side.
In modern copper wire the signal speed is about 85% of the speed of the light in vacuum, so you get something like 26cm per ns. If you compare the shortest possible cable to the longest possible cable in the CAT5/CAT6 ethernet domain you will find the difference is ca. 400ns – which is typically much less than any of the other time slices.
