PingPlotter is a graphical traceroute and ping tool that visualizes network performance in a way that makes identifying the source of problems quicker and easier.

SmokePing is described as 'Deluxe latency measurement tool. It can measure, store and display latency, latency distribution and packet loss. SmokePing uses RRDtool to maintain a longterm data-store and to draw pretty graphs, giving up to the minute information on the state of each network' and is a Network Monitor in the network & admin category. There are more than 25 alternatives to SmokePing for a variety of platforms, including Windows, Linux, Mac, Docker and Web-based apps. The best SmokePing alternative is PingPlotter. It's not free, so if you're looking for a free alternative, you could try iPerf3 or Ping Tracer. Other great apps like SmokePing are mtr, vmPing, PingInfoView and iPerf3Client .
PingPlotter is a graphical traceroute and ping tool that visualizes network performance in a way that makes identifying the source of problems quicker and easier.

The iperf series of tools perform active measurements to determine the maximum achievable bandwidth on IP networks. It supports tuning of various parameters related to timing, protocols, and buffers. For each test it reports the measured throughput, loss, and other parameters.






Ping Tracer continuously pings each network host between your computer and a given destination, helping visually identify the source of connectivity problems.

mtr combines the functionality of the 'traceroute' and 'ping' programs in a single network diagnostic tool.


vmPing (Visual Multi Ping) is a graphical ping utility for monitoring multiple hosts. Numerous host monitors can be added and removed, and each monitor dynamically resizes with the application window. Color-coding allows you to tell at a glance the status of each host.



Lightweight, and strength forward.


PingInfoView is a small utility that allows you to easily ping multiple host names and IP addresses, and watch the result in one table.




This is a simple ping application that displays real-time ping times to a specified host using a Deno backend, a WebSocket connection, and a WebView frontend with a Chart.js graph.

Trippy combines the functionality of traceroute and ping and is designed to assist with the analysis of networking issues.







MultiPing is an application built for monitoring one or more TCP/IP hosts, while providing detailed historical information about the collection period. Using the proven and powerful PingPlotter engine technology, MultiPing allows you to monitor numerous targets simultaneously...

fping is a program to send ICMP echo probes to network hosts, similar to ping, but much better performing when pinging multiple hosts.

iperf measures bandwidth between a pair of hosts, and smokeping measures latency between potentially many hosts
