You can run NRPE without Root access, and (as long as the plugins do not require root) then it will work fine. In your case, I see no reason why you shouldnt be able to do this, though you'll need to manually start up the NRPE daemon, and you'll need to watch out for any host-based firewalls blocking the port that you have no control over.

However, I don't have root/sudo access on some of these machines and requesting this may take more time that what I have available for testing. So if running this without sudo/root access is achievable with not too much effort I think I can give it a shot, otherwise I may need to try to resort to other networking benchmarking tools.
