Hi - while scanning a fast network (95+% hosts repond <3ms),
using -T5, I see many reports like (tech detail at bottom):

Nmap scan report for W.X.Y.Z
Host is up (-0.90s latency).
PORT     STATE    SERVICE      VERSION
22/tcp   filtered ssh
23/tcp   filtered telnet
[...]

or

Nmap scan report for A.B.C.D
Host is up (-2.0s latency).
Skipping host 171.64.214.144 due to host timeout
Nmap scan report for I.J.K.L
Host is up (-2.0s latency).
PORT     STATE    SERVICE      VERSION
22/tcp   filtered ssh
23/tcp   filtered telnet


Note the negative latencies.  Our network isn't that fast!

Searching for 'negative latency' (and similar) brings up no hits I can
find.  Apologies if a duplicate/not a bug.

Thanks,
