+## Latency Monitoring
+
+This projects uses a [smokeping prober](https://github.com/SuperQ/smokeping_prober) to measure network latency and packet loss. By default three targets are configured:
+
+- 1.1.1.1 (Cloudflare)
+- 8.8.8.8 (Google)
+- 9.9.9.9 (IBM)
+
+You may adjust **smokeping/smokeping.yml** according to your needs.

 ## Multiple Nodes
 
 It is possible to monitor multiple (Mikrotik) devices. Just change add as many devices to `mktxp/mktxp.conf` as you want.
