I need help with a reality/sanity check. Traceroute is a good tool for checking for routing type problems (loops). Does anyone feel it's a good toolIt's probably a poor tool for all kinds of really good technical reasons, but "Matts traceroute" aka MTR is useful to me, often shows overstressed routers or connections... especially when normal traceroute just shows garbage.
the fact that it does all the probes in parallel, without waiting for any single probe to time out is definitely a plus.
Example screen: ...
try mtr with -r (report mode) and -c (number of probe cycles to send) to get nice little snapshots. -- |-----< "CODE WARRIOR" >-----| codewarrior () daemon org * "ah! i see you have the internet twofsonet () graffiti com (Andrew Brown) that goes *ping*!" andrew () crossbar com * "information is power -- share the wealth."
