irtt VS smokeping_prober

IRTT (Isochronous Round-Trip Time) is an open-source network performance testing tool that specializes in measuring latency, jitter, and packet loss. It is designed for both unidirectional and bidirectional traffic, supporting multiple protocols such as UDP, TCP, and ICMP. IRTT's standout feature is its ability to generate isochronous (constant interval) packet streams, which allows for precise control over packet timing and transmission rates. This capability enables users to simulate various network conditions and stress test network devices, making IRTT a versatile tool for network administrators and researchers.

SmokePing and PingPlotter are my go to's at this point in time. https://github.com/heistp/irtt seems like the best thing out there out there that was recommended on this thread I created.

most of the solutions mentioned here are for low pps monitoring. personally i use https://github.com/heistp/irtt to simulate a voice call (where jitter matters the most) to a server where i can control the network. i use a custom tool to parse the output and insert it into influxdb for graphing/alerting.

OWAMP is even a standardized protocol (RFC 4656).

For the record, there is another tool that can perform such kind of one-way measurement called https://github.com/heistp/irtt .

Check out the smokeping_prober. It generates high resolution histogram data that you can use to compare different paths.

I wrote this smokeping tool to monitor. I also use unpoller

I wrote this tool to monitor my ISP connectivity.

I am thinking this might be the exporter to use: https://github.com/SuperQ/smokeping_prober At the bottom of that page it says

I wrote a smokeping_prober for Prometheus.

For some stuff, I do end-to-end probin with a tool I wrote.

Smokeping Prober

I wrote a "better smokeping" tool that produces much more detailed data than IP SLA.

I wrote my own variation of smokeping. It currently only does ICMP and UDP probing, but I've thought about adding things like TCP, HTTP, DNS, etc.
