SocPing is the mobile app that executes Ping and Traceroute with low-level POSIX Socket API. Supports both ICMP and UDP, and provides same function as a standard command on host OS.

Ping
Monitors the state changes of host or network by continuously transmitting ECHOes. You can check statistics in real time such as response (RTT) and packet loss rate.

Traceroute
Checks the route information to the destination host while incrementing the time to live (TTL).

One Ping
Sends an ECHO only once to check reachability to the destination host. You can investigate the problem with various options if "Ping" or "Traceroute" is unresponsive.

This app's strong point is the visualization by "Verbose mode" and "System call trace".
In verbose mode, outputs the binary dump of transmitting/receiving data and analyzes protocol header of the packets. You can monitor traffic data even on a mobile device that does not have the function of packet capture.
The app can also collect system call trace equivalent to Linux strace. You can check how Ping or Traceroute calls and handles the POSIX Socket API.

SocPing will be useful for initial investigation of various problems that occur on the Internet and the Cloud. We hope that you will use this app for monitoring the network status and troubleshooting.
