What is the Looking Glass Tool?

Looking Glass is a network probing diagnostic tool that can send network commands such as Ping and Traceroute from different data centers to test network connectivity, paths, and latency to target IP addresses or hosts. Through this tool, enterprises can quickly locate network issues and optimize routing.

How to Use the Looking Glass Tool?

Simcentric's Looking Glass tool is designed to be simple and user-friendly. Here are the steps to use it:

  • Select Source Node Choose a test source node from Simcentric's global data centers, including:
  • Hong Kong: A network hub in the Asia-Pacific region with direct connections to China's three major carriers, featuring low latency and high stability.
  • Los Angeles: Connecting North American and Chinese markets, suitable for cross-border business.
  • Tokyo: Covering the East Asian market, supporting high-concurrency scenarios.
  • Enter Target Address Input the target IP address or hostname, or directly use the "Use My IP" feature to detect your IP.
  • Select Test Command
  • Ping: Used to test target network connectivity and latency.
  • Traceroute: Shows the complete path from source node to target address, helping identify network bottlenecks.
  • Execute Test Command Click the "Execute Now" button, and the system will immediately return test results, including latency data, path information, and packet loss rates.

Application Scenarios of the Looking Glass Tool

  • Network Path Analysis Use Ping and Traceroute functions to view network paths from different regions to target addresses and evaluate network performance.
  • Network Troubleshooting When network delays or connection issues occur, use Looking Glass to quickly locate problem nodes and reduce troubleshooting time.
  • Route Optimization Verification Compare multiple network paths (such as International BGP, Direct CN2, and Three-Carrier Direct Connection to China) to select optimal transmission paths and improve network efficiency.
  • Cross-border Business Assessment Test network conditions from different global data centers to target markets, evaluating business deployment feasibility and network performance.
