The Ping Jitter sensor sends a series of Pings to the given URI to determine the statistical jitter. The Real Time Jitter value is updated every time a packet is received using the formula described in RFC 1889:

Jitter = Jitter + ( abs( ElapsedTime – OldElapsedTime ) – Jitter ) / 16

The Statistical Jitter value is calculated on the first x packets received using the statistical variance formula:

Jitter Statistical = SquareRootOf( SumOf( ( ElapsedTime[i] – Average) ^ 2 ) / ( ReceivedPacketCount – 1 ) )
