How does it work and what does it do?
MPG is a further development of Perfping with the ability to graph
up to 10 different ICMP results. See

the program with a host list as starting parameter.
hosts.txt

Using predefined host lists, MPG will give you a fast way of checking
multiple connections immediately when you suspect trouble. Comparison
of the different results will give you an indication of where to look
first.
You may also adjust ping interval and ICMP payload (size of the data
portion of the ICMP packet) to fit your needs. Use the trackbar to
change the values or enter the value in the edit field.
The format of the host file is ten lines of text, each line with one
host, its description and the threshold (time in which you expect to
reach the host), separated by a ';'.
