TL/DR what are the pings?
Simplified/Rough results:
Standard UNIX utility to measure round trip delay, using standard method - send ICMP packet and receive response and measure delay.
https://linux.die.net/man/8/ping
Sure, it is not 100% reliable and in some cases it could show values not corresponding to real delay.
Fibre ~21 ms
GSS ~650 ms
LEO ~60 ms
I think it's how long a response to a request takes.
