You'll probably want to test with something a bit more systematic than
ping. If ping sends a packet to the protected machine just before the
end of an epoch, the response won't be buffered very long at all. On
the other hand, if ping sends its packet at the start of an epoch, the
response will be delayed for the entire epoch length. By default, ping
sends packets infrequently, and the delay between pings isn't
particularly rigid, so you'll get jumpy results with it.
