Standard Library

Netrics comes with a "standard library" of modules to facilitate basic network measurement.

std-ping

std-ping sends ICMP pings to a set of destinations and returns the min, avg, max, and standard deviation of the RTTs, as well as any packet loss. Uses the built-in ping utility from the iputils package.

Parameters

• interval: Number of seconds between each ping. The default is 0.25.
• count: Number of packets sent. The default is 10.
• timeout: Number of seconds to wait for a response. The default is 5.
• verbose: Includes result of successfully pings in stderr when set to True.
