I really can't see what's wrong with the name. It very directly tells
you that this is the time it takes the Probe Used to enquire and get
back a result.
It does not say 'Ping RTT' does it?
It's the same issue if you probe an Xserver for a lot of info - it can
easily take 500-2500ms, but then you know that the server is slow in
responding, or collecting the data.
If you wanna know the Ping RTT.. set up a probe for it.. ;-)

Perhaps then the name of that value is misleading. I can't come up
with a better one at this time, but something like 'Last request
took: N sec' would make more sense at a glance.

Andrey,
You can't compare the round-trip time of ping packets with an SNMP
probe.
For SNMP probes, round-trip time is calculated by the time it takes
for the
last packet sent to come back. In an SNMP probe with several
variables, we
send one request for all the variables. The round-trip time is the
sum of
the time it takes to retrieve all the information, which would be much
different than a simple ping request.

I have map with a round trip time issue. I believe this is the only
one, but
I haven't looked that close for this before.
You may notice from the paste of the status window that round trip
time to
the device is over 150ms according to intermapper

Why is this happening?
I'd like to mention that this device is not the only one that does
it. I'd
like to mention that netmon2 is the server running the intermapper.
So,
intermapper thins the round trip time is 160ms, but CLI ping from
the same
box is 1ms. My routers in europe show up with 130ms on the
intermapper.
The devices that do produce this weird round trip time are all my
3005 cisco
VPNc, two fwsm blades and the core internet access router. I
understand they
use tons more CPU cycles then the rest, but then why does my CLI
ping comes
back fine?
