About SmokePing

SmokePing sends repeated probes to targets and graphs not only the median latency but the distribution and packet loss around it, so jitter and intermittent problems are visible as smoke around the line. It supports many probe types beyond ICMP.

Strengths

  • Shows latency distribution and loss, not just an average
  • Probe types cover DNS, HTTP, SSH and more, not only ping

Limitations

  • Perl application with a dated interface
  • Configuration is a text file
