Re: [hlds] Please Explain Latency Measurements in Counter-Strike Source

ping isn't latency, ping is there and back. latency is here to there,
the time it takes your command to reach the server

 Can somebody please explain why the latency measurements for:
  The Scoreboard
 Net_graph 3
 Stats  rcon stats
  Are 3 completely different and unrelated numbers, all purporting to be
 measuring latency (ping) of the players connection.
  As a rule of thumb, it appears (but I could be wrong and it could just be
 me) that the scoreboard ping is always the lowest,
 net_graph 3 ping is twice that of the scoreboard
 stats  rcon stats it twice that of net_graph 3.
  The only thing that makes sense is the scoreboard latency, which seems to
 be for the most part, a reasonably accurate reflection of what your latency
 is if you measured it with a cmdline ping in Windows.
  Anyhow, if somebody could provide a accurate logical explanation as to why
 these 3 latency measurements are completely different and why, it would be
 much appreciated.
  Cheers
