Web-accessible Network Tools

This page lists pointers I have collected to various network tools that can be run by access over the web. Many of these are useful in debugging network problems (although if you have problems, you may not be able to get to these pages over the net :-). Also remember, that since you are, in general, running these from some third parties host, they do not reflect your connectivity, but the connectivity of the site you accessed.

Eventually, I'll categorize these. Until it gets longer just a simple list:

• A list of looking glass sites around the net.
• TReno checks RTT and bandwidth, using the BSD Reno algorithms to simulate TCP operation.
• Traceroute is available from a number of sites.

Other sites that have a lot of useful networking references

• Network Professionals Resource Center has lots of documentation pointers.

I have another page that lists tools you can run yourself that you may also be interested in.

Other personal pages

• Overall outline of my pointer pages.
• My own home page (which I actually don't use much).
• A page about me.
• The Mike Patton Cryer, a newspaper created to my spec by CRAYON (CReAte Your Own Newspaper).
