Answer from AI

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.
