Experiencing a faulty internet connection? Unable to access your favorite internet browsing places, and not sure whether something is wrong on your end or theirs? Or what if you’re not an average user but an IT professional; perhaps a network troubleshooter, and you need to figure out some tiny little problem in the routing of traffic to and from a particular network location.
