It seems the tool is broken. In Europe, I get 6 ms to Ireland, but 1 ms to asia. I have been pinging my nearest hop, and I get 100-300 ms, with a lot of packet loss. I'm on really flaky wifi, and I think your ping returns 0ms when no result?

Yeah, some failures are not detected as failures. When failures happen instantly, you get impossibly low timings.

Please feel free to play around with the source code and see if you can improve it. I'd be glad to merge your diff.

Are you behind a proxy server by any chance?
