No. But I was thinking of something more robust. And I think it depends on what level you want your diagnostics to go to. Then there's metrics, analysis, detection processes. Ping and traceroute give me a ton of data. I was thinking of something that takes that data and turns it into the bottom line. Where is the problem, when did it start, all the good stuff. I still can't believe someone hasn't cashed in on this. Or is it something you wouldn't need or use? Jane Marc Pierrat wrote: > > Is there a problem with good ol' fashioned ping and traceroute?
