PingU

Lots of information can be obtained when working within an ICMP (Internet Control Message Protocol) environment. The insightful data that can be extracted using pings and hosts can play an important role in network diagnostics, regardless if you’re a full-time professional or, just an avid gamer trying to figure out what’s wrong with the connection. PingU will cater to such needs, providing users with a minimalist yet pretty comprehensive package, which contains almost all you need for performing network diagnostics on your own.

If you’re a novice to networks and Internet connections in general, fear not, as the app comes equipped with rather straightforward handling. Adding a host can be done in just a few simple clicks, and thanks to the default values provided, scanning details are covered for starters.

Having successfully added one or multiple hosts will result in displaying them in the main viewing area, which, fortunately, is populated with a consistent amount of details. Data such as status, sent, received, lost, current R.T. and more offer a comprehensive view of the situation.

For those seeking that extra functionality, the built-in IP range scanner will allow them to easily define a preferred interval, with a corresponding timeout, buffer, and TTL settings. More so, the scanner comes with a nifty graphical confirmation bar.

The same goes with the tracing module, which, although appearing even more minimalist than the rest of the app’s features, carries a decent deal of parameters that can be adjusted.

Give PingU a try, if you need a tool for figuring out what’s the deal with your network connection, host, IP, or other connectivity-related aspects.
