Latency very high #509

Hello!

Hello I wonder why is latency so bad? It's way worse than my wifi when it comes to ping ( 5-10ms on wifi vs 56ms on USB )

One thing of note is that the ping drops drastically during download , like as low as 5ms - My guess is that the PC can offer cable like latency, but the only issue is with the client not being able to process all that data realtime... Like too many small packets at once and the latency tanks 🫣

Is there any interest to improve this? Or abandonware at this point?

Thanks

Gnirehtet does not forward ICMP packets, so ping requests may not pass via gnirehtet.

I'm aware , but Speedtest is reporting ping somehow , same with other tools? Maybe they use some UDP/TCP workaround?

Idk how to test it other than that...
