The Flood Ping tool in RouterOS sends continuous ICMP echo requests to test network stability, measure packet loss, and analyze latency under heavy traffic conditions with real-time statistics on sent/received packets and round-trip times.
Netwatch monitors network hosts using multiple probe types including ICMP, TCP, HTTP, DNS, and simple pings. It allows custom scripts for state changes and supports VRFs and link-local IPv6 addresses, with configurable thresholds and interval settings.
The page documents the MikroTik RouterOS Ping tool, which uses ICMP Echo messages to test host connectivity and measure round-trip delays. It explains parameters like TTL, interval, count, and supports both IPv4/IPv6 addresses and DNS names. MAC Ping is also briefly mentioned in the context of multicast discovery.
