Bounce can refer to a number of things. The two that came to mind when I saw the question are - a 'ping' test and an 'undelivered' email.

With a ping test. Your network providers mainframe computer sends a small data 'package' to your computer via the internet connection to calculate its speed. This package is then 'bounced' back to the ISP by your modem. The ISP computer then calculates how long it took to send and receive the data - this is quoted in milliseconds.

With undelivered email, the original message is 'bounced' back to the sender with a note saying it '...could not be delivered to all or some of the recipients....'
