Re: request an enhancement about ping : adding the median

   I use ping quite frequently and I found out that the values given where
   only min/avg/max/stddev and there is not the median. Is there a reason
   for that ? I think the median could be a quite useful data, to monitor
   the network.

Interesting, I've never used median -- only the mean.  Could you
explain in more detail the exact use case?  I think a way to get the
median seems sensible though, but would really be interested in
hearing why you are interested in it, and how the mean isn't what you
want.
