There is two options which spring to mind:

1. Iniate a remote ping using SNMP
2. Use RTR which will allow you to measure all sorts of cool things like
    jitter/http/dns/ping ..........

We use rtr and mrtg for some customers and it works well.

Hi all,

I'm trying to find a tool which can measure and report latency from a
customer router through our network to the internet.

At present all our tools, sit on dmz's off the core network.
They measure latency etc from the core to the internet, and from the core to

the customer routers.

What I need to be able to do is work out latency and availability from the
customer router through the core to the internet.

e.g.

customer router-----circuit-----CORE Router-----circuit-----Internet
                                   MRTG etc
I need MRTG to some how send a packet from the customer router to the
internet via the core and record it.

Anybody got any ideas ?

Best Regards

Andy.
