...
For each host, netselect figures out the approximate ping time  (though
        not  as accurately as ping does), the number of network "hops" to reach
        the target, and the percentage of ping requests that got  through  sucā
        cessfully.  Then  netselect  calculates the "score" of each operational
        host based on these values.
