In practice, DevOps often uses the following network utilities and tools:
- ping — checks host availability and measures response time.
- traceroute (tracert in Windows) — determines the route to a remote node.
- netstat — displays active network connections and ports.
- nslookup / dig — queries DNS records for troubleshooting.
- curl / wget — sends HTTP requests and downloads data from web servers.
- tcpdump — captures and analyzes network traffic.
- nmap — scans ports and discovers devices on the network.
- iperf — measures network bandwidth.
These tools help diagnose network issues, verify service availability, and analyze traffic.
