Smokeping is an open source and free network performance monitoring tool. It is mainly used to monitor network performance, including conventional ping, dig, echoing, curl, etc. The advantage of Smokeping is that it uses rrdtool to draw pictures, and the monitoring images are updated in real time and are beautiful.

Looking Glass is placed in different computer rooms to allow users to choose the fastest node.
