<# .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-remote-hosts.ps1 ✅ Online with 18ms latency (13ms...109ms, 0/10 ping 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 = $hostsArray | foreach { (New-Object Net.NetworkInformation.Ping).SendPingAsync($_,750) } [int]$min = 9999999 [int]$max = [int]$avg = [int]$success = 0 [int]$total = $hostsArray.Count [Threading.Tasks.Task]::WaitAll($parallelTasks) foreach($ping in $parallelTasks.Result) { if ($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 -ne 0) { $avg /= $success Write-Host "✅ Online with $($avg)ms latency ($($min)ms...$($max)ms, $loss/$total ping loss)" } else { Write-Host "⚠️ Offline ($loss/$total ping loss)" } exit 0 # success } catch { "⚠️ Error in line $($_.InvocationInfo.ScriptLineNumber): $($Error[0])" exit 1 }
