SmokePing Description

SmokePing can measure latency and distribute it. It can measure, store, and display latency, packet loss, latency distribution, as well as latency storage and distribution. SmokePing uses RRDtool for long-term data storage and to draw pretty graphs that provide up-to-the minute information about each network connection. Click on any graph and use the mouse for marking your area of interest in navigator graph. Multiple targets can be displayed in one graph. You can run a series Slave nodes from one central Smokeping Master node. They will take their configurations from the master. This allows you to ping one target from multiple locations. The smoke now shows the standard deviation. This is used to indicate the variation in round trip times. There are many probes available, from simple ping to web requests to custom protocols. Master/slave deployment model for running measurements from multiple sources simultaneously.
