A common way to measure network latency to a remote host is by using ping utility which uses ICMP echo request and reply packets. In some cases, however, ICMP traffic is blocked by firewalls, which renders ping utility useless with hosts behind restrictive firewalls. In such case, you will need to rely on layer-3 measurement tools that use TCP/UDP packets since these layer-3 packets are more likely to bypass common firewall rules.

One such layer-3 measurement tool is tcpping. To measure latency, tcpping takes advantage of so-called half-open connection technique, based on TCP three-way handshake. Continue reading »

原先从各地联通ping电信服务器,ping均值在150ms左右,不知何时开始,ping均值已经下降到60ms了,真的很不错!
原先一直担心联通用户访问网站不快,看来现在已经有改善啦。可以安心地将服务器放在电信机房了,不用再考虑什么双线,什么BGP了。
