      Yes, this results in an infinite number of error messages to your javascript console. Don’t look at your javascript console and you’ll be fine. Trust me on this.

        I’ve been sharing this tool for years with family and friends when they have internet or video call problems. I use it myself when I want to diagnose my own network problems. I only wish I could triangulate among multiple instances of this. Also, there’s one bug in the javascript that really bothers me but I haven’t sat down to fix!

          Is this equivalent on the command line to mtr 8.8.8.8 or ping 8.8.8.8 ? This code’s main application being on phones and tablets without a native command line? I recall I had a terminal app for iPad and iPhone as well, certainly for android.

            This web app makes HTTP requests, unlike mtr or ping’s ICMP requests, so it’s an end-to-end test that’s a closer match to normal web traffic.

            There’s something weird going on with the requests to gstatic.com on my iPad: they are completing in about 6ms, which is far too fast to be talking to the origin server, and far too slow to be a cached CORS failure.

            At a glance, seems to have too many samples / time.

            It could be seen as abusive.

              Seems equivalent to ping’s flood mode.

                ping -f sends packets at least 100 times per second, whereas blip sends requests at most 100 times per second.
