Trace network latency by continuously pinging each host between a computer and its destination.
About PingTracer
PingTracer is an open-source graphical pinging and traceroute application for Windows. It continuously pings each network host between a computer and a chosen destination, graphs latency over time, and marks packet loss in red to help identify the source of connectivity problems. The trace route operation is not optimized for speed and can take many seconds if hosts are unresponsive; it attempts to contact each host only once, and hosts that fail to respond during that operation are not monitored. Ping rates can be increased up to 10 pings per second per host, which may trigger ICMP rate limiting on some routers and produce packet loss that does not reflect actual network performance.
Key features
- Continuously pings each network host between the computer and a destination.
- Displays latency over time on graphs and marks packet loss in red.
- Provides trace route with one attempt per host; unresponsive hosts are not monitored.
- Supports ping rates up to 10 pings per second per host.
- Offers command-line arguments for saved configurations, window placement and auto-start.
- Includes keyboard shortcuts for jumping and paging through graph history.
Best for: Windows users who need to monitor latency and packet loss between a computer and a destination such as a multiplayer game server.
Good for
- Open source under the MIT license.
- Graphs latency over time and marks packet loss in red.
- No third-party dependencies except .NET Framework 4.6.2.
Watch out for
- Trace route is not optimized for speed and can take many seconds when hosts are unresponsive.
- Hosts that fail to respond during trace route are not monitored.
- Higher ping rates may trigger ICMP rate limiting on some routers, causing packet loss not representative of actual network performance.

PingTracer FAQ
How is PingTracer installed?
Download the latest release from the releases tab and extract it wherever you like.
Are hosts that fail to respond during trace route monitored?
No. The trace route operation attempts to contact each host only once, and any host that fails to respond during that operation will not be monitored.
Why might higher ping rates show increased packet loss?
Some routers implement ICMP rate limiting, so higher ping rates may produce increased packet loss that is not representative of actual network performance.
