  • pping

    Passive ping network monitoring utility (C++)

  • One of the really cool tools in this space is "passive ping":https://github.com/pollere/pping

  • flent

    The FLExible Network Tester.

  • Flent (Flexible Network Tester) is a powerful network testing utility that aims to simplify the process of gathering and analyzing network performance metrics. Built on top of other open-source tools like Netperf, Iperf, and Ping, Flent automates the process of running multiple tests simultaneously and aggregates the results into comprehensive, easy-to-interpret graphs. Flent's ability to run various tests in parallel and its support for different output formats, such as CSV and JSON, make it an invaluable tool for network performance analysis and troubleshooting.

    Isochronous Round-Trip Tester

  • 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.
