LowEndPing

NikkiNikki Member
edited July 2012 in General

Just a small website I was working on, servers might not all be 'lowend' providers, but they will give you a decent ping if you need to look for something at that location.

http://lowendping.nikkii.us

Note: Traceroutes from Montreal are currently broken, and cause the page to hang.

If you want to add a provider, upload this PHP script to a webserver and message me a link to the script (http://yourip/lep.php or similar) along with the provider name and location.

    This is what I came up with in the day that I was working on this, it might not be the best, but it works pretty well.

    @Taylor I had a problem with the ping script earlier, I messed up a really simple check (count($out - TRACEROUTE_LIMIT) is invalid, duh, fixed in newer)
    Waiting on them to update it now :P

    @Nikki - I really like it, but after submission, the "working" buttons becomes unclickable.

    @rsk - Yeah, it's supposed to be that way.
    I have a little bug with the queue system now, I have to rewrite most of this later with a better method... the 'php' idea was good but it means taking up FCGI children for requests...

    Hmm, seems to be stuck after I entered a URL.

  • NikkiNikki Member

    @LiquidHost - It's all javascript, so make sure you allow it on the page, and it might take a few minutes to execute, depending on the load

    Yeah JS is enabled, I will just let it run for a couple of minutes.

    Thumbs up from me!

  • TaylorTaylor Member

    Sent you a PM about a location (:

  • KenshinKenshin Member

    We really should have the mods start a consolidated list of ping/traceroute sites. The community does have quite a few requests and it's going to help a lot.

  • AlexBarakovAlexBarakov Patron Provider, Veteran

    http://i.imgur.com/vjBJ7.png - still loading for 30 minutes. Tried re-sending the reqeust as well. It is weird, the first 2 times I tried it it was working absolutely fine and fast. Now it is just stuck.

    I like it-Well done! It seems to take about 50% longer for San Jose results to appear.. not sure why

    traceroutes with a

    < center >
    alignment look tremendously stupid.
  • NikkiNikki Member

    @rm_ I have to rewrite part of the backend soon, I'll see what I can do :p

  • miTgiBmiTgiB Member

    Can it prefer IPv6 if an AAAA record exists or direct IPv6 is input? Most of the providers seem to offer IPv6 you are using.

  • NikkiNikki Member
    edited July 2012

    @miTgiB No, I was trying to think of the best way to do that... it only detects IPv6 addresses using filter_var

    If you have any idea how I should implement it on the web side, please share :P

  • ynzhengynzheng Member

    welldone，thanks

  • NikkiNikki Member

    Added a few more servers for a total of 13 now :)
    Tomorrow I'll work on adding server selection, so you can choose the locations to ping from instead of using all of them, and also clean up the code... A LOT.

  • rm_rm_ IPv6 Advocate, Veteran

    Excellent, traceroutes are no longer centered, much nicer to look at!

    @Nikki said: Added a few more servers for a total of 13 now :)

    Think of a way to utilize other people's servers for running traceroutes from your system. E.g. make a small PHP script people could install on their server, that would do ping/traces when requested by your system and send back results.

    This is a bit weird ...

    I was working on a similar site, traceit.info but haven't got round to having results come back from multiple sites yet.

    I have to say, I like yours more :-)

    @rm_ That's what it does now, it requires PHP to wait for it all though, which means it ties up a FCGI/CGI process... It's all non-blocking on my side, so it's not too bad, but on the servers it might not be the best...

    Edit: Should be a bit better when loading servers now, Echoing on page load and just resetting them between queries rather than constructing them every query

    Good show!

  • exextaticexextatic Member

    @Nikki, PMd you about having two of our servers added to the list.

  • jayjay Member

    Ace.

  • exextaticexextatic Member

    @Nikki, The pinger seems to be down (clicking ping or trace does nothing). It appears to be an issue in the ajax.php file (as far as I know anyway).

  • rm_rm_ IPv6 Advocate, Veteran

    Should be able to mark checkboxes which servers you want to utilize, like on http://lg.he.net/

    Also let me know if you're interested in adding a Japan VPS to the list, and PM me the script which I will need to install.

  • exextaticexextatic Member

    @rm_, the script is in the original post.
