• Some thoughts on speed of light latency - great article about why a good ping is important.
Speedguide.net has equipment reviews, tweaks, etc.
• The story of PING - where it all started...
• Traceroute (and Pirates) - humorous "How does traceroute work?" article. Sam Spade seems down, and this is too good of analogy to lose, so we can find it here on the Internet Wayback Machine.
