This is a new modern implementation of the traceroute(8)
|
|
utility for Linux systems.
|
|
|
|
Traceroute tracks the route packets taken from an IP network on their
|
|
way to a given host. It utilizes the IP protocol's time to live (TTL)
|
|
field and attempts to elicit an ICMP TIME_EXCEEDED response from each
|
|
gateway along the path to the host.
|
|
|
|
Main features:
|
|
- Full support for both IPv4 and IPv6 protocols
|
|
- Several tracerouting methods, including:
|
|
* UDP datagrams (including udplite and udp to particlular port)
|
|
* ICMP ECHO packets
|
|
* TCP SYNs (in general, any TCP request with various flags and options)
|
|
* Generic IP datagrams
|
|
- UDP methods do not require root privileges
|
|
- Ability to send several probe packets at a time
|
|
- perform AS path lookups for returned addresses
|
|
- show ICMP extensions, including MPLS
|
|
- perform path MTU discovery automatically
|
|
- show guessed number of hops in backward direction
|
|
- command line compatible with the original traceroute
|
|
- and much more, see traceroute(8)
|
|
|
|
This code was written from the scratch, using some ideas of
|
|
Olaf Kirch's traceroute, the original implementation of Van Jacobson
|
|
(which was long used before) and some current BSD's ones.
|
|
|
|
This traceroute requires Linux kernel 2.6 and higher.

Good tracerouting!
