    1. Run a traceroute like traceroute cnn com
    2. Kill that by ctrl-c at the third line.
    3. Ping that third IP address.

    Don’t try to ping UK.battle.net or your numbers will be skewed by everything in between.

      Based on the various replies, it sounds like the poster I was originally replying to does not mean pings in any context.

      They just mean in this context. Along optimal routes. Right?
