PacketDesk is a Windows network diagnostic utility for monitoring connectivity, latency, route behavior, and packet loss. Enter a hostname or IP address, start a test, and PacketDesk will run a traceroute, monitor the destination, and track each route hop over time.
Everything you need to diagnose and troubleshoot network issues
Continuously monitor latency to any hostname or IP address. Track response times, jitter, and packet loss over hours or days to identify patterns and intermittent issues.
Run an initial traceroute, then track each hop along the route over time. Monitor individual routers and network segments to identify which link is causing problems.
Results displayed in easy-to-read tables and visual charts. Quickly spot latency spikes, packet loss, unstable hops, and changing network conditions at a glance.
Monitor latency with minimum, maximum, and average response times. Track jitter and packet loss. Adjust ping interval and traceroute refresh frequency to suit your needs.
PacketDesk processes all diagnostics locally on your device. Network tests run only against destinations you choose. No data collection, storage, or sharing—ever.
PacketDesk is useful for troubleshooting a wide range of network issues
Diagnose WiFi and broadband issues. Track latency during gaming, streaming, or video calls to find what's causing slowdowns.
Monitor internal and external connectivity. Troubleshoot inter-office latency. Track VPN performance and identify unstable routes.
Monitor VPN tunnel performance. Identify whether latency or packet loss is occurring on your local network, the VPN, or the destination.
Track real-world performance to cloud services, remote servers, and SaaS applications. Correlate performance with user experience reports.
Diagnose ISP performance issues. Monitor your external internet connection and track uptime and quality over time.
Capture historical data showing when and how network conditions change. Build a timeline of problems to share with ISPs or infrastructure teams.
