The lower the standard deviation, the more closely clustered the times are. Stddev - Stands for 'Standard Deviation', which represents a measure of the spread of times.Max - The maximum amount of milliseconds a signal took to go from your network, to the IP address specified, and back to your network.This value is calculated by adding up the total amount of milliseconds then dividing that sum by the number of packets that were sent. Avg - The average amount of milliseconds a signal took to go from your network, to the IP address specified, and back to your network.Min - The minimum amount of milliseconds a signal took to go from your network, to the IP address specified, and back to your network.The second line to look at is round-trip min/avg/max/stddev = X/X/X/X ms Any positive value indicates a potential issue on your network that and you may need to reach out to your Internet Service Provider to troubleshoot.
