## What it is
NetSonar is a cross-platform network diagnostics and monitoring application written in C#. It probes hosts and services over many protocols (ICMP, TCP, UDP, TLS, DNS, HTTP, SSH, MQTT, and more) with latency charts, interface inspection, and internet speed testing.

## Use cases
- ping hosts and monitor latency over icmp tcp udp
- monitor availability of services like dns http ssh mqtt
- chart response times and jitter packet loss for multiple services
- inspect and configure network interfaces
- run an internet speed test from the desktop
- diagnose why a server or port is unreachable

## When to choose
- you need a GUI tool for multi-protocol network probing and latency monitoring
- you want cross-platform network diagnostics on Windows, Linux, and macOS
- you need live response-time charts with percentiles, jitter, and loss analysis

## When to avoid
- you need distributed or cluster-wide monitoring with alerting (use Prometheus/Zabbix)
- you only need a simple scriptable CLI ping
- you require SNMP-based infrastructure device monitoring

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: active
- function: monitoring, networking
- domain: networking, monitoring, developer-tools
- platform: windows, cross-platform
- tags: network-diagnostics, ping, latency-monitoring, speed-test, icmp, tcp, udp, dns, network-interfaces, linux, macos
