    Gonna have to downvote this for a few reasons:

    1. Latency is only relevant to the specific endpoint you’re connected to at any given time.
    2. Latency doesn’t matter overall if you’re just measuring a ping. It’s a simple network transaction, and high ping here and there will not be apparent on things like streaming video from a service or whatever.
    3. Jitter is the thing that needs to be measured to be useful, and it will only become apparent when you notice a problem in low-latency applications like voice/video comms, or gaming.
