#### Ping shows duplicate packets and massive response times
374+
375+
Lima uses QEMU's SLIRP networking which does not support `ping` out of the box:
376+
377+
```
378+
$ ping google.com
379+
PING google.com (172.217.165.14): 56 data bytes
380+
64 bytes from 172.217.165.14: seq=0 ttl=42 time=2395159.646 ms
381+
64 bytes from 172.217.165.14: seq=0 ttl=42 time=2396160.798 ms (DUP!)
382+
```
