Hello Stefan,

Your capture is expressed all in one line and is confusing to be interpreted

Anyway, take into account that when you press "CTRL+C", you are interrupting the process unexpectedly and one packet could be lost in the wire (packet sent without response).

Try this instead (to control how many packets you are sending)

ping -c10 x.x.x.x
