Network Test Simulation IP Tool|Multi-region Ping Test/Latency Detection

Why do I need a multi-region ping test?

When we directly test the responsiveness of a website or server locally, the data obtained can only reflectSingle point of access quality. For example, a user in Hangzhou tests the latency of a Beijing server to be 30ms, but there is no way to know the access experience of a user in Guangzhou, Chengdu or even overseas. By simulating real users in different regions to initiate requests through proxy IPs, it is possible to generateFull mesh delay distribution, which is critical for scenarios such as website operations and maintenance, CDN node optimization, and so on.

Setting up a test environment with proxy IPs

While traditional testing tools (such as the ping command that comes with Windows) can only initiate requests locally, using ipipgo'sDynamic Residential Proxy IPGeographical restrictions can be broken:

Comparison test of key parameters

When using ipipgo Proxy IP, it is recommended to monitor all three core metrics at the same time:

- Base delay: Round-trip time from proxy node to target server
- jitter value: Range of latency fluctuations for successive requests (recommended <50ms)
- packet loss: Percentage of unresponsive packets during testing (more than 3% needs to be troubleshooted)

By comparing the test results of agent nodes in different regions, you can quickly locate network bottlenecks. For example, if an e-commerce platform finds that the access latency of the agent node in Shanghai increases suddenly, while other regions are normal, it can check the status of the CDN nodes in the region.

Tips for avoiding distorted test results

Note when testing with proxy IPs:
1. Change IP address before each test (ipipgo supports automatic API change)
2. Test at least 5 different IPs in a single area and take the average value.
3. Avoidance of network peak hours (recommended to be implemented at 08:00-10:00, 14:00-16:00)
4. PrioritizationStatic Residential IPMaintaining a stable test environment

Frequently Asked Questions QA

Q: What is the reason for the timeout during testing?
A: It is possible that the target server's firewall intercepts the ICMP protocol. It is recommended to use TCP port detection instead and test it through the full protocol proxy supported by ipipgo.

Q: How do I make sure the real geographic location of the proxy IP is accurate?
A: All of ipipgo's residential IPs have been approved by theTriple Positioning Verification(ISP registration information, base station positioning, actual route tracking) with an error range of less than 3 kilometers.

Q: What do I need to pay attention to for cross-operator testing?
A: It is recommended to get proxy IPs of different ISPs in the same region at the same time (e.g. Beijing Unicom + Beijing Telecom). ipipgo supports filtering IP resources by operator.

By properly utilizing the proxy IP service provider ipipgo provides thePool of 90 million+ real residential IPsIt allows users to build an accurate global network quality monitoring system. Its uniquehybrid proxy model(Dynamic + static IP free switching) can ensure the diversity of test data, but also to meet the stability needs of long-term monitoring.
