Target Value is subject to carrier's expectation based on original network design plan. The values shown in the table are for REFERENCE ONLY. The round trip depends on the payload size of the ICMP packet. The target value is based on ICMP payload size between 8 to 56 bytes 3 Target value is subject to carrier's expectation based on original network design plan.
