Smokeping used to be one of my favourity tools when I was working as a SysAdmin long time ago. It's offers such a clever way of presenting the data, that it is super easy to identify any issues.
I still wonder why modern tools haven't adopted this ingenious technique.
TCPView might be a bit more popular than SmokePing. We know about 37 links to it since March 2021 and only 27 links to SmokePing. We are tracking product recommendations and mentions on various public social media platforms and blogs. They can help you identify which product is more popular and what people think of it.
It's basically like https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/tcpview but for Linux. Source: 10 months ago
Unfortunately I don't think there is an existing list of CDN endpoints to pick from, I found a few by starting updates while using a VPN and using tcpview to find which IP address it was connecting to. Once I'd found one that was faster than the default I opened my hosts file: C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts. Source: 11 months ago
Try https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/tcpview and it will show you in real time what ports are being used to connect to there. Source: 11 months ago
Maybe something like TCPView: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/tcpview. Source: about 1 year ago
I understand that netstat isnt exactly user friendly so if you'd like to keep monitoring the situation you can use SysInternal's TCPView https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/tcpview which displays everything for you in a GUI. Just don't forget to filter for only listening ports cause it will show all connection states by default (use the green flag icon). It even has the added benefit of... Source: about 1 year ago
I'd recommend setting up SmokePing or Vaping to get a better idea of latency and connectivity. Source: 10 months ago
Let me introduce you to a rather old, but still highly useful, tool for free. Takes a little leg work to get going, but pays off in style. https://oss.oetiker.ch/smokeping/. Source: 11 months ago
So I would run Smoke Ping (https://oss.oetiker.ch/smokeping/) for a while to get an idea of the loss. If it really is an external issue, you can try a VPN to hopefully pickup a different route. Source: 11 months ago
I personally like smokeping, https://oss.oetiker.ch/smokeping/ . Has lots of different probes so you can do more than just "ping if it is alive". Source: about 1 year ago
I previously made a post asking for some ping results for various people in the area. Thank you to everyone who replied. Some of the comments encouraged me to set up a more proper monitoring system for keeping track of latencies to various servers, and to consider more than just ICMP ping as said packets are likely deprioritized. I set up an instance of SmokePing and have it monitoring a number of services, as... Source: about 1 year ago
Fping (open source) - fping is a program to send ICMP echo probes to network hosts, similar to ping, but much better performing when pinging multiple hosts.
PingPlotter - PingPlotter is a troubleshooting tool that helps IT professionals and neophytes identify, diagnose, and resolve network issues.
CurrPorts - CurrPorts displays the list of all currently opened TCP/IP and UDP ports on your local computer.
PingInfoView - PingInfoView is a small utility that allows you to easily ping multiple host names and IP addresses, and watch the result in one table.
Ping Meter Gadget - Customizable, graphical, semi-transparent ping (latency) meter.
Open Nettest - Open Nettest is a platform for collecting, processing and visualizing data related QoS and QoE.
