- Windows users monitoring multiple hosts or flaky links
- Worth noticing
- It greys out intermediate-hop loss when later hops show that traffic is still getting through.
Field notes
Hosts can be added by address, range, or subnet up to /24, with an optional label. The app records an outage after three missed replies and can keep monitoring from the tray when its window is closed. Its route view repeatedly measures each hop, while the page cautions that intermediate routers may limit traceroute replies and make their apparent loss misleading.
