<# .SYNOPSIS Checks the ping latency .DESCRIPTION This PowerShell script measures the ping roundtrip times from the local computer to other computers (10 Internet servers by default). .PARAMETER hosts Specifies the hosts to check, seperated by commata (default is: amazon.com,bing.com,cnn.com,dropbox.com,github.com,google.com,live.com,meta.com,x.com,youtube.com) .EXAMPLE PS> ./check-ping.ps1 ✅ Ping latency is 29ms average (13ms...109ms, 0/10 loss) .LINK https://github.com/fleschutz/PowerShell .NOTES Author: Markus Fleschutz | License: CC0 #> param([string]$hosts = "bing.com,cnn.com,dropbox.com,github.com,google.com,ibm.com,live.com,meta.com,x.com,youtube.com") try { $hostsArray = $hosts.Split(",") $parallelTasks = $hostsArray | foreach { (New-Object Net.NetworkInformation.Ping).SendPingAsync($_, 500) } [int]$min = 9999999 [int]$max = [int]$avg = [int]$successCount = [int]$lossCount = 0 [int]$totalCount = $hostsArray.Count [Threading.Tasks.Task]::WaitAll($parallelTasks) foreach($ping in $parallelTasks.Result) { if ($ping.Status -eq "Success") { [int]$latency = $ping.RoundtripTime if ($latency -lt $min) { $min = $latency } if ($latency -gt $max) { $max = $latency } $avg += $latency $successCount++ } else { $lossCount++ } } if ($successCount -eq 0) { Write-Host "⚠️ Offline ($lossCount/$totalCount loss)" } else { $avg /= $successCount Write-Host "✅ Ping latency is $($avg)ms average ($($min)ms...$($max)ms, $lossCount/$totalCount loss)" } exit 0 # success } catch { "⚠️ Error in line $($_.InvocationInfo.ScriptLineNumber): $($Error[0])" exit 1 }
