How does it work?
Pingdom Tools - Ping and Traceroute are distributed versions of the popular network tools, available directly from your browser. With these tools you'll get an outside view of your network response time and network topology, which allows you to track down possible errors more easily. Pingdom Tools are currently hosted on a server in Dallas, Texas. Soon you'll be able to choose from a number of different geographical locations from all around the world.
- Both Ping and Traceroute work by sending out ping packets and waiting for replies.
- When a router replies, a green or yellow bar is displayed with the response time.
- Replies faster than 50 milliseconds are displayed with a green bar.
- Replies slower than 50 milliseconds are displayed with a yellow bar.
- If getting a reply takes more than one second, the row will be marked in red.
