Network Path

Trace the route to your infrastructure.

Network issues between your servers cause slowdowns, timeouts, and outages that are invisible to traditional monitoring. Pulsewise traces the path to your infrastructure, tracking latency and packet loss at every hop — so you can pinpoint exactly where the problem is.

The Problem

The network between you and your users is a black box

Your server is up. Your application is running. But users are experiencing timeouts and slow page loads. The problem isn't your code — it's the network path between your infrastructure and your users. A congested router, a bad peering arrangement, or a routing change at your ISP.

Without visibility into the network path, you're left guessing. Your hosting provider says everything looks fine from their end. Your CDN reports normal performance. Meanwhile, users in specific regions can't reach your site — and you can't prove where the bottleneck is.

Packet loss detected at hop 5 — datacenter edge router

The Solution

Multi-hop visibility with latency and loss tracking

Pulsewise monitors the network path to your servers, measuring latency and packet loss at every hop along the route. When a router starts dropping packets or a new routing path introduces latency, you see exactly which hop is responsible.

Share the traceroute data with your hosting provider or ISP to pinpoint the problem. No more "it works from our end" finger-pointing — you have the evidence that shows exactly where packets are being lost or delayed.

Latency history — hop 5

14:00 142ms · 8.4% loss
13:00 98ms · 3.2% loss
12:00 52ms · 0.5% loss
11:00 48ms · 0% loss
10:00 51ms · 0% loss

What Pulsewise tracks

  • ICMP and TCP protocol support
  • Multi-hop path tracing with per-hop latency
  • Packet loss detection and alerting
  • Latency history for trend analysis
  • Routing change detection between checks
  • Inbound and outbound path monitoring
  • Alerts when latency or loss exceeds your thresholds
