It doesn't convey much information. You're not sending any packages to those 20 pings, which seems good. Your files won't exceed 65500 or 10000 bytes, which explains the slower speed.
MTU standard is 1500 bytes. Once packets start breaking apart, it strains the CPU and slows down processing, requiring them to be reassembled on the receiving end. This explains the increased latency you notice, and it’s important to minimize fragmentation wherever possible. Some systems are set up to discard broken packets.
It's hard to give a precise answer because numbers vary widely. A speed test would help clarify. CSGO uses relatively little bandwidth—possibly 500 to 1000 kbps. TTL stands for time to live, indicating how long a packet stays active before being discarded. Each hop increments the counter, starting at your router, then your ISP's point of presence, and so on. If it exceeds 64 hops, the packet is dropped, which shouldn't occur. TTL helps prevent packets from looping indefinitely in the network.
TTL is reduced starting from a smaller number. The smaller the initial value, the fewer hops the packet can travel before reaching zero and being dropped.
I get it—still a bit unclear about networking. To clarify, 64 ticks equals 64 packets per second. For testing latency at 64 ticks, you’d measure the time it takes for a packet to travel from your router to your device and back. If it’s under 5ms, you’re good to go without buying a new Ethernet cable.
64 ticks equals 64 updates each second. A single update might include several packages. Generally, the traffic generated is minimal and unlikely to affect your network. Playing games over Wi-Fi usually works fine. You might notice interference from nearby networks, similar to living in a multi-unit building. There aren't many tests you can perform—just try it out and see what happens.
