LowEndPing
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.
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.
Montreal, Quebec, Canada
Seems to have died.
@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.
Regards
@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.
@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!
Sent you a PM about a location (:
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.
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
@rm_ I have to rewrite part of the backend soon, I'll see what I can do
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.
@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
welldone，thanks
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.
Excellent, traceroutes are no longer centered, much nicer to look at!
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!
@Nikki, PMd you about having two of our servers added to the list.
Ace.
@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).
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.
@rm_, the script is in the original post.
