 I see:
 
         Output histogram:
                 echo reply: 41
                 destination unreachable: 495
 [...]
         Input histogram:
                 echo reply: 12
                 destination unreachable: 1
                 echo: 41
                 #20: 7
                 icmp traceroute: 16
                 mobile registration req: 25
                 #37: 31
 
 What is yours?
