What I meant here was that Ping's latency doesn't depend on some kind of magic. Implementation and/or application has to chop messages/fragments into more fragments of a certain size *beforehand* to provide more places a control frame can be injected to. If a giant message/frame has been being sent, there's nothing can be done to interject a control message quickly. If we say a partial message corresponds to 1+ frames on a wire than both implementation and the application can contribute better responsiveness. If we say a partial message corresponds to exactly 1 frame, than all the burden of chopping is on the application. In this case the responsiveness is independent from an implementation.
