Package: tcp-latency
tcp-latencyAbouttcp-latencyprovides an easy way to measure latency using TCP.Inspired by othersimilar tools,tcp-latencycomes from the need of running network diagnosis/troubleshooting tasks with Python on serverless infrastructure (as many providers don't include ping/ICMP support) but should work too in any other environment with Python>=36.FeaturesRuns as a command-line tool or inside your code as a module.Custom parameters for a port, runs, timeout and wait time between runs.IPv4 (e.g 52.26.14.11) and domain (e.g google.com) host support.Human readable output when running as a command-line tool.No external dependencies.Small and extensible.Usagetcp-latencycan be used both as a module and as a standalone script.Module>>> from tcp_latency import measure_latency
>>> measure_latency(host='google.com')
[34.57]
>>> measure_latency(host='52.26.14.11', port=80, runs=10, timeout=2.5)

usage: tcp-latency [-h] [-p [p]] [-t [t]] [-r [r]] [-w [w]] h

Measure latency using TCP.

positional arguments:
  host

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -p [p], --port [p]    (default: 443)
  -t [t], --timeout [t]
                        (seconds, float, default: 5)
  -r [r], --runs [r]    number of latency points (int, default: 5)
  -w [w], --wait [w]    between each run (seconds, float, default: 1)$ tcp-latency google.com
