For instance the first time I try it: [root@io:33]ping charybdis PING charybdis.cs.indiana.edu: 56 data bytes Timed out (1 second) waiting for echo reply <--- fails 64 bytes from 98.0.0.38: icmp_seq=1. time=154. ms <--- passes 64 bytes from 98.0.0.38: icmp_seq=2. time=26. ms 64 bytes from 98.0.0.38: icmp_seq=3. time=13. ms 64 bytes from 98.0.0.38: icmp_seq=4. time=17. ms 64 bytes from 98.0.0.38: icmp_seq=5. time=13. ms The second time, however: [root@io:36]!ping ping charybdis PING charybdis.cs.indiana.edu: 56 data bytes 64 bytes from 98.0.0.38: icmp_seq=0. time=23. ms <--- passes 64 bytes from 98.0.0.38: icmp_seq=1. time=13. ms 64 bytes from 98.0.0.38: icmp_seq=2. time=14. ms 64 bytes from 98.0.0.38: icmp_seq=3. time=23. ms 64 bytes from 98.0.0.38: icmp_seq=4. time=14. ms 64 bytes from 98.0.0.38: icmp_seq=5. time=13. ms III Usenet: iuvax!jec UUU I UUU ARPANet: jec@iuvax.cs.indiana.edu U I U Phone: (812) 335-7729 U I U U.S. Mail: Indiana University U I U Dept. of Computer Science UUUIUUU 021-E Lindley Hall I Bloomington, IN. 47405 III (Home of Bob Knight and the Indiana Hoosiers)
