Someone told me that jitter is defined as how much the return time in ms of an ICMP is varying:
Pinging Some host [x.x.x.x] with 32 bytes of data:
Reply from x.x.x.x: bytes=32 time=66ms TTL=122
Reply from x.x.x.x: bytes=32 time=68ms TTL=122
Reply from x.x.x.x: bytes=32 time=63ms TTL=122
Reply from x.x.x.x: bytes=32 time=67ms TTL=122
The above ping request offers little jitter...if the time in ms differed more wildly it would have a high rate of jitter.
