yep best to ignore the yellow. Whats more important is the blue as that reflects average. So if yellow is eg. 80ms green is 20ms and blue is 24ms. Then it means the majority of your pings are normal with the occasional spike, thats probably going to translate to a good experience on latency sensitive apps. However if your green is 20ms and your blue is 80ms and yellow 100ms. Then that indicates a lot of jitter and may possibly cause issues on some apps. If you see a lot of red then thats even worse as thats packetloss and will likely impact every internet app.

It would be better or more useful if they had another colour, purple maybe, that showed 90th percentile.

Nah it really wouldn't people obsess over the graph quite enough with the current 3 colours let alone adding a 4th statistic.

The maximum/minimum approach to presentation doesn't tell you how often the minimum is prevalent. The average implies this but there is no SD to provide a confidence level. So the only way to seek confidence is to see what the blue is doing against the yellow. A following trend will indicate issues where they both rise and the blue will rise faster if the green rises too.

When Igni picked up on my comment, he might have ignored the fact that I was drawing a distinction between "silent" latency and latency caused by priority activity on the user's circuit.
