Can you please elaborate on this?

I have a separate need (relating to an ICANN RSSAC WG) to be able to
detect high latency last mile hops but I could not identify the specific
"built-in ping tests for 1st and 2nd hop" that you described.

Were you perhaps suggesting that it was actually just the first couple
of rows of data from the built-in *traceroute* tests that hold this data?

thanks,
