MTR: traceroute that works
by daven on Jan.08, 2008, under General System Administration
mtr is an update to the classic traceroute that is able to continue giving results even if one of the hops times out. The homepage
for mtr explains it below:
As mtr starts, it investigates the network connection between the host mtr runs on and a user-specified destination host. After it determines the address of each network hop between the machines, it sends a sequence ICMP ECHO requests to each one to determine the quality of the link to each machine. As it does this, it prints running statistics about each machine.
