TCPing: TCP Port Checker & Ping Alternative
tcping is a networking tool used to check the accessibility of TCP ports. It can be used as an alternative to the traditional ping tool to determine if a host is online. In addition to checking host availability, tcping can also verify if specific ports are open on a host, as well as provide information on connection latency.
The characteristics of tcping include:
- Support for designated port detection: Users can specify the port number they want to check and see if a specific service is available.
- Flexible parameter settings: the ability to adjust parameters such as timeout duration, number of retries, etc., to adapt to various network environments.
- Easy to use: simple command-line tool that is user-friendly.
- Cross-platform: supports running on different operating systems such as Windows, Linux, and Mac.
- Provide latency information when connecting: In addition to checking if the port is open, latency information can also be provided to help users get a more comprehensive understanding of the network conditions.
