Latency Measurement

Ping Monitor can monitor hosts in low-latency networks if the high-precision latency measurement is enabled. In this case, the program uses a special ICMP network filter driver to measure the ping latency with 0.01ms precision. On the Latency Measurement page, you can switch the program to use the Windows standard measurement with 1ms precision or high-precision measurement Pic 1.

To use the high-precision latency, you need to install a special ICMP network filter driver on the machine where the Ping Monitor server is installed. Run the program setup to modify the server installation and select the option to install the driver. The server should be rebooted after the driver is installed.
