[ale] home network monitoring

[pete.hardie at gmail.com (Pete Hardie)]

Good monring all,

I've had some sporadic issues in my home network, and I'd like to try and
troubleshoot them, but need advice on
how - is there an existing product that would do this?  Or am I better off
writing something myself?

?My setup is:
cable modem in bridge mode -> ASUS wifi+wired router, with wifi and wired
machines in the house, and some powerline networking for a few DVRs that
are too old for wifi


The issues:
1) sporadic loss of wifi connection - like my SSID is not visible for 10s
of seconds, and
2) sporadic loss of connectivity to the Intarweb at large - nothing seems
to get out/back for minutes at a time

?
?What I would like to do is monitor connectivity from my (wired) desktop?
to the fixed points in my internal network, and some strategic outside
sites (Google DNS, Comcast DNS, wikipedia, or others with good
uptime/connectivity), and generate a periodic report on when and for how
long connectivity was lost to each.

?Does anyone have recommendations?  Does systemd cover this yet? :)
?
