Abstract

We present Globalping, an open-source, community-driven platform for scalable, real-time global network measurements. It democratizes access to network diagnostics by offering every user, including non-technicals, technicals, and companies, the ability to perform ping, traceroute, and DNS lookups from a globally distributed network of user-hosted probes using either the intuitive Globalping front-end or REST API. Unlike solutions like RIPE Atlas, official integrations with other platforms, such as Slack and GitHub, make Globalping even more effective in real-time monitoring and collaboration.
