Description
The latency-analyzer script is built to test and track latency across time and targets, offering both snapshot and trendline data. It sends ICMP pings (or TCP handshakes) to specified hosts and records the round-trip time (RTT), packet loss, and jitter. This data can be logged in structured formats (CSV, JSON) or fed into a real-time dashboard.
The script is crucial for diagnosing slow connections, identifying performance drops, or preparing a network for sensitive services like VoIP or online gaming, which are highly latency-sensitive. It helps users understand not just the current state of latency, but how it fluctuates throughout the day.
Features like alerting (e.g., notify when latency > 200ms), comparative graphs, and scheduled exports make this script ideal for both technical and managerial stakeholders who want visibility into network performance. It’s often deployed on routers, gateway servers, or even embedded into user devices for telemetry.
