Round-Trip Time
Round-trip time (RTT) is the time required for a packet to travel from the sender to
the receiver, and then return to the sender. The router’s ping command, either
CLI or GUI, can help determine the RTT. The following is an example of the CLI
ping command executed on GE port 1.
MPX200 <1> (admin) #> ping
