You are correct in your evaluation of ping. But nothing beats a
300ms-500ms ping time to show the users and management that we have to
be smarter with the network (ie packeteer etc) and/or up the bandwidth.
Ping also helps when they think the "internet" is down (ie hotmail, msn
etc) instead of just being blocked...<grin>.

Interesting code,
Pining however does not test performance of particular connection, since
"the network is slow" might be protocol (check QoS) or app specific.
Testing
ICA latency and throughput is a way to go if we are looking at Citrix
connectivity (functionality is available via Citrix SDKs).
