How can I do a ping every 500 ms?
You can do this with nping (from the makers of nmap)
- First download and install the nmap package which includes nping.
- In a command prompt change the directory to
C:\Program Files (x86)\Nmap
- Now run the following command:
nping --delay 500ms --count 0 <target ip address>
(the--count 0
option sets it to a continuous ping)
....from Nping Reference Guide:
Usage: nping [Probe mode] [Options] {target specification}
....
....
TIMING AND PERFORMANCE:
Options which take <time> are in seconds, or append 'ms' (milliseconds),
's' (seconds), 'm' (minutes), or 'h' (hours) to the value (e.g. 30m, 0.25h).
--delay <time> : Adjust delay between probes.
--rate <rate> : Send num packets per second.
On Linux it is possible (recently minimum time was changed to 200ms = 0.2):
ping -i 0.2 server.com
Root can issue shorter time:
ping -i 0.01 server.com
You could create an endless loop in PowerShell
, send 1 ping there and wait for 500ms after sending it.
while ($true) { Test-Connection ServerName -Count 1 ; Start-Sleep -MilliSeconds 500 }
You can also Wrap it in a Function and put in in your PowerShell Profile to use it anytime
Function New-Ping {
Param(
[Parameter(Mandatory)]
[string]$ComputerName,
[Parameter(Mandatory)]
[int]$Intervall
)
while ($true) {
Test-Connection $ComputerName -Count 1
Start-Sleep -MilliSeconds $Intervall
}
}
and use it like this from within PowerShell
:
New-Ping ServerName 500
You can also use it in cmd.exe
like so:
C:\WINDOWS\system32>powershell new-ping SRV 500
Source Destination IPV4Address IPV6Address Bytes Time(ms)

CP SRV 10.0.0.226 32 0
CP SRV 10.0.0.226 32 0
CP SRV 10.0.0.226 32 0
You can end the endless loop by pressing CTRL + C
