About:
Gping is a command-line tool that executes the native 'ping' command and visualizes the results in real-time as a graph. It renders latency data directly in the terminal, making it easy to spot network trends, packet loss, and jitter. This provides an immediate, intuitive understanding of network health compared to raw numerical output.
Key Features:
  • Real-time graphing of ping latency in the terminal
  • Support for multiple hosts simultaneously
  • Low overhead and fast execution
  • Simple command-line interface
Use Cases:
  • Monitoring home network stability and Wi-Fi performance
  • Diagnosing latency spikes and packet loss to remote servers
  • Comparing network routes between different endpoints
Alternatives:
  • mtr – Provides a combination of traceroute and ping, showing latency per hop, whereas gping focuses solely on endpoint latency visualization.
  • plotping – A similar tool for graphing ping results, often with different rendering styles or dependency requirements.
