To easily detect network packet loss using MultiPing, you rely on its specialized graphical interface to monitor multiple destinations simultaneously and highlight dropped data in real-time. Developed by Pingman Tools, MultiPing is designed to keep running in the background, making it much more powerful than a standard, manual command-line ping test. 1. How MultiPing Displays Packet Loss
MultiPing uses specific visual indicators to help you spot connection drops instantly:
The Target Graph (Light Red Bars): In the main upper grid, the PL% column calculates your current packet loss percentage based on your active sample set. Next to it, the mini-graph displays light red horizontal bars that grow longer as your packet loss increases.
The Timeline Graph (Solid Red Lines): When you open a detailed time-history graph for a target, vertical red lines represent dropped packets (where MultiPing sent a request but received no response). If you see a solid block of red, it indicates a prolonged period of total packet loss or a completely dropped connection. 2. Step-by-Step: Setting Up a Packet Loss Test
To start isolating your network issues, configure MultiPing to test various points along your network path:
