Snt	Number of ping requests sent to the router at this hop.
Last	Most recent round-trip time, in milliseconds, to the router at this hop.
Avg	Average round-trip time, in milliseconds, to the router at this hop.
Best	Shortest round-trip time, in milliseconds, to the router at this hop.
Wrst	Longest round-trip time, in milliseconds, to the router at this hop.
StDev	Standard deviation of round-trip times, in milliseconds, to the router at this hop.
