What tools do you use for network diagnostics?

Answer from AI

For network diagnostics, I use the following tools:

  • ping — to check node availability and measure response time.
  • traceroute (tracert) — to determine the route of packets and identify bottlenecks.
  • netstat — to view active connections and ports.
  • tcpdump — to capture and analyze network traffic at a low level.
  • Wireshark — a graphical packet analyzer for detailed examination of network protocols.
  • mtr — a combined ping and traceroute tool for real-time route monitoring.
  • iperf — to measure network bandwidth.

These tools help identify issues with delays, packet loss, incorrect routing, and other network anomalies.
