Scoreboard, netgraph, and console ping

Does anyone know what each ping is measuring considering for me, they are all completely different numbers? Console ping is always significantly higher than the other two and generally scoreboard ping is the lowest. What ping determines when your projectiles spawn? With 5 scoreboard ping on a local server netgraph gives 0 ping and the console gives 15 ping, but on a Chicago server 15 scoreboard ping gives 20 netgraph ping and 45 console ping.

iirc the scoreboard one is latency with a bit of interpolation over time, net_graph is ping and I never had a clue how the console one worked

Thats what I have heard too but it doesn't make sense that my scoreboard ping is constantly lower than net_graph if scoreboard is supposed to be the average.

Isn't it that latency is just a round trip, that just bounces off the server back to you, while ping sends some data to the server and server then responds with some data back, so it is a bit slower?
