Packet Loss Test

This script performs multiple pings to check for packet loss to a specific IP or hostname. It calculates the percentage of successful pings, which helps assess network stability.

# Define target and number of pings
$target = "8.8.8.8"  # Replace with the target IP or hostname
$pingCount = 50  # Number of pings to send
$successfulPings = 0

for ($i = 0; $i -lt $pingCount; $i++) {
    if (Test-Connection -ComputerName $target -Count 1 -Quiet) {
        $successfulPings++
    }
}

$packetLossPercentage = (1 - ($successfulPings / $pingCount)) * 100
Write-Output "Packet Loss: $packetLossPercentage%"

• Adjust $target and $pingCount to fit your testing needs.

• Explanation: This script calculates packet loss as a percentage based on the number of successful vs. total pings.
