Description Willem Riede 2000-08-14 01:03:42 UTC
The first ten or so lines of ping 1.2.3.4 are not output immediately, but
appear all at once after the delay associated with that many pings. Each
next line comes out individually as before.

Comment 1 Brian J. Conway 2000-08-14 04:55:53 UTC
Ping is reverse-resolving the IP of the host you're pinging so that it will show
up in the result.  You won't see this behavior if you ping the same machine
again, and there's a switch to turn it off.
