I though Ping message was to check the connection when some time was passed and to check the connection is still alive. But I'm receiving it right at the beginning. The sequence of messages that I receive is this (without delay):
(send Version)
Version Verack
(send Verack)
SendHeaders
SendCmpct (2 times one for each version!)
Ping
Addr
GetHeaders

It's sent as a latency probe.
