I can verify that. I tried pinging the laptop from another machine (10.0.0.2) in my small home LAN.
With smaller packets: tim# ping -D -s 64 brain.internal PING brain.internal.hack.org (10.0.0.20): 64 data bytes 72 bytes from 10.0.0.20: icmp_seq=0 ttl=64 time=0.450 ms 72 bytes from 10.0.0.20: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=53.031 ms 72 bytes from 10.0.0.20: icmp_seq=2 ttl=64 time=48.112 ms ... Note what happens after the first packet. The other way, /from/ the laptop, seems fine, though: brain# ping -D -s 64 tim.internal PING tim.internal.hack.org (10.0.0.2): 64 data bytes 72 bytes from 10.0.0.2: icmp_seq=0 ttl=64 time=0.762 ms 72 bytes from 10.0.0.2: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.565 ms
I've been working on reducing network latency, and now only consider latency 10 times smaller than 0.565 mS to be fine for a home LAN :-).
