rkruz Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 Is there a commercial application that will allow one to send pings at a greater frequency then 1/s? I found the shareware "TruePing" which does the trick, but was hoping to find something that had formal support.I want to perform a simple test to measure Round Trip Time on a link to evaluate the effects of increasing traffic. I need enough measurements to be statistically significant hence want a faster ping rate available so I can gather data in a reasonable time.Any thoughts appreciated.thanks!

eyeball Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 You cannot "get" a faster ping. A ping is the time it takes for a packet of data to get from your pc, to the destination interface and back. Ping statistics are at the mercy of the ever changing traffic across the internet. You can have a reasonably consistent response time, but there are too many factors involved.FYI I highly doubt that anything that claims to "increase your ping" has any effect whatsoever.

GeneralMandible Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 You can send them at a faster interval ie 10 echo requests per second. The response is a different story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyeball Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 Yes you are quite right about the interval, I thought the guy wanted a response time quicker than 1ms but I guess he was reffering to more than 1 ping per sec.Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkruz Posted January 14, 2009 Author Share Posted January 14, 2009 looks like trueping will do the trick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
