Ping and traceroute from all continents at the same time

I want to talk about the network utilities that we opened on the WIPmania project a month and a half ago. Utilities include pings and traces from multiple servers (today around fifty) around the world:

Pings can be performed simultaneously from all servers.
For tracing it will be available later.

It uses its own trace program, which sends three types of packets simultaneously, for a more comprehensive analysis: TCP (port 80), UDP, ICMP. This is the most practical option, as some routers do not respond to ICMP, and others to UDP.
A visual display of the distance shows visual transitions between the hops.
The AS-path is also output and, in addition, you can see which routers are slowly responding.

This is how the ping to new Google DNS looks like (a list of data centers with these DNS )
')
And so, for example, tracing to Habra from Seoul , Sao Paulo , Washington and Kiev :

Examples of possible uses:

• analysis of their networks / servers for accessibility worldwide;
• Hosting selection: how well its data center is located for your project;
• Check for "honesty" of your hoster / provider, to whom it is connected and what channels it has;
• if the server is unavailable, you can determine whether the server or the provider channel has fallen, and in which particular location;
• All results are saved, they can be shared with anyone through the "Permalink to results", etc.

Additionally - whois by IP and reverse DNS.

Also, access to utilities is implemented in the addon to Firefox . In addition to the IP address, the real country and the flag, the latest version shows the provider / data center / AS-network (not from whois, but the real ones from the routers) and reverse DNS (click on the statusbar).
+ Links to "Looking Glass" global operators.

The plugin uses the API to get all this data, but all requests can be disabled in the options and receive information only at will on a specific site.
