Hello, i have two office s1 and s2. now i use Ping sensor and get ping rtt time (rtt=time_s1_to_s2+time_s2_to_s1). How i can get two separate results (time_s1_to_s2 and time_s2_to_s1)?

No, "Time to Last Packet" show very high values 20000...30000 ms ("QoS One Way sensor" show same time as "QoS Round Trip sensor") (but Ping RTT =10 ms between offices)

Yes, the "Time to Last Packet" is the time for the entire traffic (first to last packet). Single Packet Times are not available for the one way QoS-Sensor. But you could calculate it manually in a Sensor Factory, by dividing the Time to Last packet by the number of Packets.

in this case it show incorrect result: (20000...30000)/1000 = 20...30 ms "one way time"???
But "QoS Round Trip sensor" show "RTT(Average)"=14 ms!

Yes, because the RTT is just the packet, where as the calculation includes the delay between the packets.

Again, that is not shown on the QoS-One Way Sensor. You could use a simple Ping-Sensor as alternative.

By the nature of a Ping, there is no way to only see how quickly traffic is travelling in one direction.
If you are looking to measure the line quality between the two offices, what I would recommend would be the QOS one way sensor. This would give you a decent amount of information about the connection between the master and the probe that you would have to set up at the other office.
