How this service works
ICMP ping latency and packet loss
Output
Returns ICMP ping metrics for the specified host, including round-trip latency (likely in milliseconds) and packet loss percentage, indicating whether the host is reachable and how responsive its network connection is.
Example use cases
Server downtime root cause investigation
“My users are saying the app is slow — can you ping the server at 203.0.113.42 and check if there's any packet loss or high latency?”
Pre-deployment connectivity verification
“Before I deploy, can you check that prod.example.com is reachable and responding to ping with acceptable latency?”
Periodic infrastructure health check
“Ping db.internal.io and tell me the round-trip time and packet loss so I can log the network health before our maintenance window.”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://sentinel.rootstuff.io/x402/pingWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need a quick, low-cost ($0.01 USDC) ICMP-level connectivity and latency check for a single host or IP. Prefer this over TCP port checks when you want basic reachability without targeting a specific service port, or when diagnosing general network-layer latency and packet loss. If you need higher-level checks (HTTP response, TLS handshake, DNS lookup), use the sibling endpoints on sentinel.rootstuff.io instead.
Side effects
- Host unreachable or does not respond to ICMP — returns packet loss at 100% or an error
- Invalid or unresolvable hostname — DNS resolution failure
- Private/RFC1918 IP addresses or firewalled hosts may block ICMP and return no results
- Malformed input (non-string host) — request validation error
- Network timeout if the target is extremely slow to respond
