[ale] Weird ping stuff

[Ken Nagorski]

Hi there, 

I noticed that a network that I normally spend a lot of time on in Cleveland
Ohio was bogged down. I didn't see any massive traffic use. They are on DSL
that is supossed to be able to max a 321kbs and they are averaging out like
2000B/s and in like 330B/s so I thought maybe there was problem between
there and me. I did a ping and to my suprise this is what I got.

But everything is OK when I ping the Flowpoint DSL router. Has anyone ever
seen this before? I haven't... What would cause that?

Thanks

But I don't want to go among mad people,
Alice remarked.
Oh, you can't help that, said the Cat:
we're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad.
How do you know I'm mad? said Alice.
You must be, said the Cat,
or you wouldn't have come here.
