: Described as a modern, Python-based rewrite of SmokePing. It supports real-time latency graphing in a browser and uses a "smokestack" graph style similar to the original.

: Highly recommended for Windows users due to its native Windows core and user-friendly interface.

While SmokePing is great for "set it and forget it" monitoring, excels at active troubleshooting. It combines traceroute with ongoing latency monitoring.
