To effectively do network response monitoring, you need a solution that:
Can track connectivity and response times for a broad range of network devices- including routers, switches, servers, applications, and printers. Uses the ping command to verify network connectivity between designated hosts.

Records response times between network devices, services, and applications-to help you quickly pinpoint areas of excessive network latency.

Records connectivity test results and round trip sample data so you can leverage this information in availability and performance trend reports.
