NetTools

Works with iOS 5. We are working on an updated version with more features.

NetTools the utility to trace network problems, and the only good working traceroute for the iPhone.

New iOS 4 tested version has been submitted. Includes improved icons for iPhone 4, and more responsive UI.

Please contact [email protected] before writing bad reviews. I want the bugs removed as well.

Please notice that there are settings that can be tweaked through the global settings application.

NetTools is an application with a collection of network tools. It will do DNS lookup aka nslookup, ping and traceroute across any type of connection (WiFi, 3G and EDGE).

These 3 tools are the primary tools that a network administrator needs. But they are also used by gamers to see where the bottleneck is between them and the gaming server (traceroute), or measuring latency to the game server (ping).

For information on how to use the tools, please visit the NetTools homepage.

Ping functionality shows you the latency / roundtrip time for data between your iPhone and any server you can reach using ICMP ping.

Traceroute shows you what routers and servers your traffic passes through on the way to the destination. All these point might cause latency, direct data in the wrong direction, or drop it. It is normally used to pinpoint network bottlenecks.

This is the first implementation of traceroute on the iPhone that does reverse-DNS lookup, and shows you the names of the hosts that passes your traffic along. At the time of writing, it is also the only traceroute application that works across hosts that does not reply within the time limit (like over EDGE)
