Proxy Ping Tool
Proxy Ping
As a network engineer sometimes you need to determine the latency between two remote offices or locations. You may be at the main office and need to quickly measure the network latency between a remote development office and another remote location. SolarWinds Proxy Ping application provides the capability to quickly and easily measure the network latency between these two locations.
With Proxy Ping application from SolarWinds it is possible to remotely initiate a PING test and measure the network latency from any remote Cisco router to any other SNMP enabled device. The ICMP Ping results are calculated based packets sent from the Cisco router directly to the other remote device. This Proxy Ping application is great for testing links between two remote sites.
Now you can PING without being there….
You are no longer restricted to initiating a PING test from only your workstation. The SolarWinds Proxy Ping tool displays the originating Cisco Router on the lower left of the display. The Target Device being tested is displayed on the right screen. The target device could be a router, a server, a remote switch, or any device that responds to ICMP. The Proxy Router application will display Shortest, Longest and average Ping latency response time for the connection between the two remote devices.

The Proxy Ping displays the originating Cisco Router on the lower left of the display. The Target Device is displayed on the Right. This could be a router, a server, a remote switch, or any device that responds to ICMP. In between the Proxy Router and the Target Device is a summary of the PING statistics for this connection.
The Proxy Ping will display Shortest, Longest and average Ping time for the connection between the two remote devices.
