Measure Network Latency by Pinging Hosts
ICMP echo packets (or "ping") can be used as a measure of connection response time. PingTime can be used to track and diagnose potential network routing and performance issues.
Ping wolfram.com.
In[1]:=
ping = PingTime["wolfram.com"]Out[1]=
Convert the result to other units.
In[2]:=
UnitConvert[ping, "Seconds"]Out[2]=
In[3]:=
UnitConvert[ping, "Minutes"]Out[3]=
In[4]:=
UnitConvert[ping, "Eons"]Out[4]=
Use a series of pings over time to periodically test network conditions.
