PingPlotter Free 5.18.1 Build 8034

PingPlotter is a free application that helps you easily identify latency and packet loss problems you might be experiencing. The tool relies on ping, traceroute and whois to collect data right away with the option of also collecting it over a longer period of time. It also offers valuable information you can use to find out what the problems are.

Both short and long term analysis are provided in a visual format, letting users quickly spot the issues they’re having. PingPlotter practically lets you trace the route between your machine and a user-defined address, continuously aquiring and logging data about packet losses (if any).

The program is really intuitive to use, thanks to its straightforward options. In the related panel, insert the address you want to be traced and then you can start the tracing process and stop it at any time. In the same panel you can view more information regarding the recorded information in a simple real-time graph.

Users can customize a number of parameters before starting the trace, for example how many times to sample, delay between samples and how many samples should be included in the graph. The graph shows real-time data regarding lost packets percentage, hops, min, max, average, DNS, IP address and so on.

Data can be copied to the clipboard (text or image) as well as exported to PNG, BMP or GIF format. To ease visualisation, PingPlotter also lets you change the graph background color to yellow, or red if values are higher than the ones you defined.
