You can't use that for measurement, on many router products the
process of replying to ICMP echo's (and generating other ICMP
messages) is a VERY low priority task, so if it's CPU is loaded
with other tasks, you will see a excessive latency in ping's to
that router, but you will probably see a much more normal delay to
a host behind it.
