Sure is :D If you have a ping of 1 then it is taking 1 millisecond to transfer the data, but if your ping is 1000 then it is taking a whole second from someone's pc moving their character for it to show on your screen!
Gummin Depends heavily on the game's netcode. In L4D2, over 40 ping starts to become noticeable. In BF4 Ping is almost irrelevant. In Tribes Ascend 20 and up is noticeable. In GunZ the Duel 1 ping is much better than 20.
Gummin i grew up with really shit internet. my ping in cod4 was usually around 400 - 500 on average and about 200 at best, and i still pwned. you kinda get used to it after a while.
This is a big problem in multiplayer fps games. In a 1v1 one player has a 3-5 second reaction time while another only has 1-2 second reaction time. I'd see someone and instantly die, in the killcam he saw me a good couple seconds before I saw him.
Can you make a video that develops on top of this topic regarding what tech or global companies in IT have been doing in trying to minimize ping or are they even doing so. THanks!
I hope quantum entanglement/teleportation will one day be a thing. Having a ping of 0ms would change everything ever. Imagine controlling a robot in realtime with unlimited range, imagine skyping with someone on mars like he was in front if you instead of waiting 15 minutes
waht ever.... I play with 50mb internet that is shared with 3 persons, I get 50 ping if I go to european server, 130 -150 if I go american and 200 + if I go to asian servers, I don't know why u would hit your head but ok..
the reason he picked the names "Dick and Jane" is because they are the names in some of the oldest books that were given to kids in school that taught the fundamentals of reading writing and arithmetic. I think they are still used today in some books.
think of the 192 bit and 256 bit bus as highway lanes, the more lanes the more traffic u can accommodate in other words more data can be be moved per cycle, which also dictates how much vram u can use (2 gb or 3gb or 4, 6) a 192 bit bus gpu has usually 8 memory modules (250 mb each for a total of 2 gb) with each having a 32 bit bus interface, 32 x 8 = 192, high bus means more memory can be handled but there are exception like the 192 bit 3gb gtx 660s but im lazy cant bother to explain that or all of this might be wrong and im an idoit, if it is the latter feel free to laugh
Very educational. Something to consider would be to inform the viewer about how to decrease ping time. What sorts of measures could be taken to lower ping in games? Do we need to simply look for a better internet provider or is there minor things that can increase performance? Thanks Linus!
Great video! Video idea: what are master passwords, e.g. in the context of password managers? How does the technology work, and what does it mean for the algorithm if a company decides to put in a "backdoor"?
Ping is more of a utility that (usually) uses the ICMP protocol to send small packages and waits for a response. Ping is NOT the latency itself, and it sounded like you were trying to put it that way. For e.g., Ping is commonly used just to test if a route exists between the sender and the receiver. I love your videos, but I didn't like this explanation, it was a little confusing and misleading IMHO.
FYI latency to a gaming server is also affected on how far away it is. As in another country etc. Its less about the actual range, because electronic signals travels at the speed of light, but more about the amounts of hops the signal has to take between different ISP provider level "routers" (DSLAM etc) and the gaming server. The time the "router" takes to process the signal and send it to the next hop is actually what is the least time effective and ads to your latency rather than the physical range. For example. I live in Norway. I have less hops to many East coast US servers, because of the trans Atlantic underwater line, than I have to some gaming servers in South of Europe.
I don't often subscribe; however to your channel I have. Excellent work. I was most excited to hear you start to break into the advanced topic of jitter and wander. Further quick explanation of jitter/wander & QoS as remedies along with some great graphics would be appreciated!
It is very self explanatory just like "bottlenecking" or "overclocking" or "when to upgrade you RAM" yet he has made a video of all of these topics... These videos get way more views than some very nerdy stuff only few viewers would understand.
Your ping can affect your bandwidth, as in TCP/IP the reception of a packet needs to be acknowledged or the sender will stop sending, or resend the unacknowledged packets. This depends on the Window Scaling setting of the TCP/IP connection, if I'm correct, but there is a maximum to that (of 1GB?), at which point your ping starts limiting your bandwidth. This will not happen in most consumer setups, unless you have a really high ping, but can affect larger systems that push many GB/s.
Thing is even bandwidth often doesn't matter, unless you have several people streaming videos, netflix wont fully utilize your typical cable internet bandwidth.
You kind of made the explanation a lot more complex than it should have been. Ping is simply the time in milliseconds it takes for your internet connection to reach a server
I'm a bit confused, does this mean that I will have lower ping if let's say my Upload speed is at 500 mbit/s and download speed is at 1000 mbit/s compared to my current one which is at 250 mbit/s download and 10 mbit/s upload ( I usually have around 30-50 ping when I am connected to servers which are located in Amsterdam, Paris and London).
Imagine a running race(the distance between your PC and the Server/PC/network device you want to connect to)... the time it takes you to finish it is your Ping.... say you can only run at a fixed speed(speed your request will travel across the copper/fibre to the server) so as a result you always get to the end of the race at the same time...Your internet connection would represent the amount of stuff you can carry while running. A stronger internet connection = more stuff carried... However you still run at the same speed during the race and so get to the end of the race at the same time(but with more stuff)... This is why the only way I know of to improve your Ping is a lot is to move physically closer to the server. This is a very simple example and there is a bunch of other crap affecting your Ping but this covers the basics and should help you understand better...
+•TэssэłłдtэdGцy• If you have litterally 0 ping it would actually mean you ARE the server even if you had a direct cable connecting you you would have some ping (though it would be
Still amazes me that in any online game people can play and interact in near real-time. Data can travel from point A to point B, potentially thousands of miles in just 20ms. Crazy.
I was searching data centers for my console and found out the "ping time" next to data center, I watched this video and changed the data center to the one closet to were my console is located, and with the shortest ping time, now multiplayer has cut the lag in Half and everything runs much smother. If you have lag, check your ping!
So how does it work out if one person has a ping of 21ms and the other person/computer a ping of 34ms. Will the communication time between them be 21+43ms?
So what actually determines ping value? Is it the isp? or physical distance between your device and the server? What is that ping number based upon? Thanks
I have been playing Krunker.io for a while and I am never able to shoot anyone. Everyone keeps freezing in the air every couple of seconds I'm guessing it has to to with really high ping Is there a way that I can lower my ping to keep my game from lagging and freezing? I'm new to this "ping" stuff, so if you guys could help me that would be great.
Glad you write out what he's saying as I can't understand him otherwise. BTW, how to you spell experience? Don't think it's "experiance" as you spelled it.
Internet service in the USA sucks. Eastern Europe and Asia is where it is at. There are places in Eastern Europe where you can get 1000 Mbps for $18/month.
When is Jitter going to be talked about? I'm sure that's the consistency of ping, or standard deviation...but you say it? Also, any perspectives of mobile hard or solid state drives would be good. ALSO file compressions for video...? THANKS LINUS
Ping its a protocol layer 3 TCP/IP is used to test if there is any connectivity from one network device to another, it is not to measure time.! By the way the named of the protocol is ICMP but good vídeo thoo
I just encountered your video. It was the first of the many results that actually explained what I wanted to know. Bonus, it explained latency, which I also didn't understand.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dick_and_Jane This is for everyone who does not know why he named one of his characters Dick. Because Dick is actually a name, it is short for Richard.
I hope Techquickie is accepting requests for possible videos because I have one. I have been wondering for a while about the Blue, Green and Black WD hard drive types. I found some sites where they talk about them but not in-depth information. I would like to know more about those types of hard drives in more detail and if these classifications apply to other than WD made hard drives. And thank you in advance if you decide to make such a video.
If you are in a hurry there is a quick answer: Green are slow and quiet, primarily used for large chunks of data - music, movies, pictures. Blue are a lot faster, they are in the middle. Black have the best performance - used for programs, games and OS (if you don't want and SSD) but need more power and are noisiest. I have Blue and Black, not much of a difference to me personally.
Not sure why, but this topic is one of the most difficult ones for people to understand... When people say that their internet is fast, 90% of the time they are indirectly talking about their low ping.
this just in: unless you're a competitive/professional player, ping really isnt that important. sure you dont want a 500ms ping, but a ping of 100-150? just fine even for your normal casual gaming.
I have high ping due to upload bloating (I believe that's what it's called) My ping is actually just 13 ms, but my upload is so low that some games make my internet hit 100% upload, making it impossible for my net to request enough information. Making my ping go crazy high or end in a disconnect. It's annoying as heck. I can play on say a 24 player server in BF4 nicely with a ping that stays in the 30-70 area, nicely playable though not the absolute best. But on a 64 player server my net hits max upload and my ping passes the 600s or I just disconnect.
Great job on the video but make a video on how to reduce ping and make your internet service better. Maybe busy a myth about Ethernet vs wifi for ping.
More people need to watch this.
so...this video only tell us about what is a ping? right?
more people need to read a book

This video is done so well! With the animations and everything, it makes it a very entertaining video and easy to understand. Great job!

Me too. Didn't expect a tech quickie on this topic.
its helpful for newbie
I agree, but most of Linus' followers are more tech-literate than some gamers.
It is very self explanatory just like "bottlenecking" or "overclocking" or "when to upgrade you RAM" yet he has made a video of all of these topics... These videos get way more views than some very nerdy stuff only few viewers would understand.
You still haven't posted jitter, it's been half a year
Where's the jitter video? :(
RiversDelay I'm wondering too!
RiversDelay jitter is amount of data lost during communication. The lower jitter, more stable connection.

1:26 "experiance" should be "experience"
Still waiting for that jitter video to drop
I have high ping due to upload bloating (I believe that's what it's called)
My ping is actually just 13 ms, but my upload is so low that some games make my internet hit 100% upload, making it impossible for my net to request enough information.
Making my ping go crazy high or end in a disconnect.
It's annoying as heck.
I can play on say a 24 player server in BF4 nicely with a ping that stays in the 30-70 area, nicely playable though not the absolute best.
But on a 64 player server my net hits max upload and my ping passes the 600s or I just disconnect.
What does the ms stands for? miliseconds? So more miliseconds means more performance for the PING?
So the lower the ping the better?
Let's say I had 10 ping. Is that good?
I always thought too low was bad and too high is obviously bad as well.
Hadn't understood PING until now. Thanks.
if Ping is a one-way connection to the server.... Does a server reply with "PONG" ?
awesome stuff Linus. became a fan in 2013 and will continue to be a fan of all your stuff. oh yea, and Slick too,lol
