How fast is a hoster's server? - 4/5/2001 20:57:00   
Hello
I would like to know if I can use the statistics from pinging (in dos) to analyse how fast a hoster's server is.

If not, what is a good technique to analyse this??

Thanks,
Have a good day.

Not sure what you mean by "fast"? The server speed - IE: PIII750?; Response time -IE: ping?; ??

If you mean the time to deliver a request for a HTML document - it will depend on where you are, how much traffic is on the 'Net, what time of day it is. There are lots of variables.

You could have a look here http://www.paessler.com/tools/ at a product called WebStress.

Pinging is useful mostly to identify a domain's IP address. You can get a loose feel for how fast it is, but don't rely on that info alone. You can also get a good idea how fast the server responds, but again, don't go writing any Master's thesis with the info. The speed info on a ping request is most indicative of network speed of the test packets. It's virtually useless in determining server speed.

However, If you do a ping request and get no response, you know something is amiss with your server.

@tarheel
So what technique (software) would you recommend to make a professional "thesis"?

Regards,
Mark
