ctrace is an IPv4 traceroute tool that supports many features missing
|
||
|
in standard 4.3BSD traceroute(8). It is programmed entirely in perl.
|
||
|
|
||
|
The primary difference between ctrace and other traceroute tools is
|
||
|
its ability to trace routes in multiple protocols. ctrace also has
|
||
|
some additional nifty features:
|
||
|
|
||
|
Automatic round-trip-time (RTT) averaging, which makes output
|
||
|
cleaner and more intelligible.
|
||
|
|
||
|
One or more packets can be launched per TTL/hop. By way of
|
||
|
contrast, 4.3BSD traceroute(8) forces at least two. This
|
||
|
capability makes ctrace faster.
|
||
|
|
||
|
4.3BSD traceroute(8) emulation in most output, so it will hook
|
||
|
in to existing parsers.
|
||
|
|
||
|
The ability to skip an arbitrary number of hops, saving you
|
||
|
time that would be normally wasted tracerouting your own
|
||
|
network.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Fine-grained control over trace packet headers, assisting in
|
||
|
bypassing burdensome packet filters.
