The firewall will actively refuse the attempt to ping so you'll get inaccurate results as the response time will take into consideration the network hardware and even the network hardware may experience problems and congestion at times so your results will not be accurate...– KinnectusCommented Nov 22, 2014 at 11:57

1@OP: What do you precisely mean by 'fast'. Throughput or latency? I guess latency. Can you please edit your post to clarify that?– HennesCommented Nov 22, 2014 at 12:01

Do I understand correctly the following? - You want to measure the ping round trip time. By "IP" you mean communication over IP. "They" is your Internet services provider (ISP).– pabouk - Ukraine stay strongCommented Nov 22, 2014 at 12:03

@Hennes and pabouk: I have updated my post. I just need for instance to compare two or three servers and see which of them has the fastest ping relative to my location, even if they both don't answer ping commands.– HeidiCommented Nov 22, 2014 at 12:07

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. windows-7), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
