<# .SYNOPSIS Pings remote hosts to measure the latency .DESCRIPTION This PowerShell script measures the ping roundtrip times from the local computer to remote ones (10 Internet servers by default). .PARAMETER hosts Specifies the hosts to ping, seperated by commata (10 Internet servers by default) .EXAMPLE PS> ./ping-internet.ps1 ✅ Internet ping latency 12ms (9...18ms range) .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(",") $tasks = $hostsArray | foreach { (New-Object Net.NetworkInformation.Ping).SendPingAsync($_,1000) } [int]$min = 9999999 [int]$max = [int]$avg = [int]$success = 0 [int]$total = $hostsArray.Count [Threading.Tasks.Task]::WaitAll($tasks) foreach($ping in $tasks.Result) { if ($ping.Status -ne "Success") { continue } $success++ [int]$latency = $ping.RoundtripTime $avg += $latency if ($latency -lt $min) { $min = $latency } if ($latency -gt $max) { $max = $latency } } [int]$loss = $total - $success if ($success -eq 0) { Write-Host "⚠️ Internet offline (100% ping loss)" } elseif ($loss -eq 0) { $avg /= $success Write-Host "✅ Internet ping latency $($avg)ms ($($min)...$($max)ms range)" } else { $avg /= $success Write-Host "✅ Online with $loss/$total ping loss and $($min)...$($max)ms latency - $($avg)ms average" } exit 0 # success } catch { "⚠️ Error in line $($_.InvocationInfo.ScriptLineNumber): $($Error[0])" exit 1 }
