RackNerd Region Latency Test

This project measures latency to RackNerd VPS locations using RackNerd's official test IPs.

Unofficial tool.

Regions

Current RackNerd targets are based on (Looking Glass tools'RackNerd)[https://lg-lax02.racknerd.com]:

• Los Angeles DC-02 (204.13.154.3)
• Los Angeles DC-03 (107.174.51.158)
• San Jose, CA (192.210.207.88)
• Seattle, WA (192.3.253.2)
• Dallas, TX (198.23.249.100)
• Chicago, IL (198.23.228.15)
• New York (192.3.81.8)
• Ashburn, VA (192.3.254.158)
• Atlanta, GA (107.173.164.160)
• Toronto, ON (167.160.186.8)
• Strasbourg, FR (45.95.173.2)
• Amsterdam, NL (23.94.101.88)
• Dublin, IE (23.95.225.2)

Metrics in CLI output

For each region, the script collects multiple ping samples and prints:

• Min: lowest latency sample
• Max: highest latency sample
• Avg: arithmetic average (sum / count)
• Median: middle value (or midpoint of two middle values)

Results are sorted from lowest latency to highest (closest first).

How to run

From the project directory:

python3 ping.py

This runs with defaults:

• --count 3 (3 pings per region)
• --timeout 2 (2 seconds per ping attempt)

CLI options

python3 ping.py --count 5 --timeout 2

Short form:

python3 ping.py -c 5 -t 2

Example progress output

 37.5% | Testing Seattle, WA (192.3.253.2) [3/3]
