# dnsping
dnsping pings a DNS resolver by sending an arbitrary DNS query for given number of times:
```
% ./dnsping.py -c 3 -s 8.8.8.8 -t MX wikipedia.org
DNSPING 8.8.8.8: hostname=wikipedia.org rdatatype=MX
101 bytes from 8.8.8.8: seq=0 time=161.607 ms
101 bytes from 8.8.8.8: seq=1 time=156.355 ms
101 bytes from 8.8.8.8: seq=2 time=145.201 ms
--- 8.8.8.8 dnsping statistics ---
3 requests transmitted, 3 responses received, 0% lost
min=145.201 ms, avg=154.388 ms, max=161.607 ms, stddev=8.378 ms
```
This script calculates minimum, maximum and average response time as well as jitter
# dnsperf
dnsperf is a bulk ping utility that sends an arbitrary DNS query to a give list of DNS servers. This script is meant for comparing response time of multiple DNS servers at once:
```
% ./dnsperf.py wikipedia.org
server avg(ms) min(ms) max(ms) stddev(ms) lost(%)
