This Section

How to read the bottom portion of the test


1. Host LOSS - This indicates the percentage of packets dropped by that particular router.



2. Best - Lowest ping to the router
Avg. - Average ping to the router
Worst - Highest ping to the router


The lower the ping, the better.

3. Gateway - The second to the last hop is your gateway. The gateway is a node on a network that serves as a entrance for local users onto the ISPs network.


4. (YOUR ADDRESS) - This is your computer. A dropped packet (shows as 2% dropped) loss is very common with an ICMP stream.
