🌐 Average Ping

This flow gives an idea of the speed of your internet connection. It pings google .com, amazon .com, yahoo .com, facebook .com, and outlook .com. It then averages the round-trip time.

Pings each 5 times by hostname, takes each average and averages them. The flow will keep a running average (that's an average of an average of an average, for those keeping score at home) in order to provide a baseline for comparison to the current average.

Pings in parallel to save time, so pings will be higher than might be expected. Also performs one throw-away ping per host to get any DNS shenanigans squared away.

Version 2: New IP for yahoo (the old one wasn't working). Is it silly to ping by IP? I did it that way to eliminate DNS as an issue.

Version 3: Added running average. The flow will remember previous average pings and keep a running average.

Version 4: Rewrite: Same results, more efficient. Uses 15 fewer blocks (really).

Version 5: Now pings by hostname. Added initial throw-away ping for each host to take care of DNS.

Version 6: Bug fix with throw-away pings. Replaced 'Delay' block with 'Fiber stopped' block.
