network tools
When I talked about the advanced users, it is had it. iStat developers offer such users to two network tools - Ping and Traceroute, are not available by default in the phone due to lack of a command line.
Ping command help diagnose network connection, sending and taking small packets of information on the address of the site (user selectable). A Traceroute allows you to see the "path" of these packets over the network and find out exactly where the disconnection occurred, if any site does not open. Naturally, this should have a basic knowledge in network protocols.
As a result, we have a good program, for which no pity to give money. Especially, it is now being sold at a discount.
