Private Line testing. Internal network testing.
Hi
I've got a fixed link installed between 2 of my sites and I've been suffering some problems with it. So i deicded to set off some constant pings over the link and after fairly long time i saw some drop off. I retested and found that every couple of hours i see some drop off of this type on the link.
i'd like to run some software to test the packet loss on the link, is there any good freeware apps out there that will allow me to run some basic tests on the line ?

Does the provider of that line have a guarantee of reliability? If so, get on their case!
