Description: Full screen ncurses traceroute/ping tool
|
||
|
|
mtr combines the functionality of the 'traceroute' and 'ping' programs
|
||
|
|
in a single network diagnostic tool.
|
||
|
|
.
|
||
|
|
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.
