Pingdom Tools - Ping test 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. Both Ping and Traceroute work by sending out ping packets and waiting for replies. If you want to automate our Ping Test, there's also a subscription service which you can sign up to.
