-Traceroute is a system administrators utility to trace the route
-ip packets from the current system take in getting to some
-destination system.  See the comments at the front of the
-program for a description of its use.
-
-This program 
-
- a) can only be run by root (it uses raw ip sockets).
-
- b) REQUIRES A KERNEL MOD to the raw ip output code to run.
-
-If you want to hack on your kernel, my modified version of the
-routine rip_output (in file /sys/netinet/raw_ip.c) is attached.
-This code may or may not resemble the code in your kernel.
-It may offer you a place to start but I make no promises.
-If you do hack your kernel, remember to test everything that uses
-raw ip sockets (e.g., ping and egpup/gated) & make sure they still
-work.  I wish you the best of luck and you're on your own.
-
-If your system has the ttl bug mentioned in the source, you
-might want to fix it while you're in the kernel.  (This bug
-appears in all releases of BSD up to but not including 4.3tahoe.
-If your version of netinet/ip_icmp.c is any earlier than 7.3
-(April, '87), it has the bug.)  The fix is just to add the line
-	ip->ip_ttl = MAXTTL;
-after the line
-	ip->ip_src = t;
-(or anywhere before the call to icmp_send) in routine icmp_reflect.
-
-If you're running this on a pre-4.3bsd system (e.g., Sun 3.x,
-Ultrix) that strips ip headers from icmp messages, add -DARCHAIC
-to CFLAGS in the Makefile.  Also note that rip_output contains
-a conditional for a 4.2/4.3 change in the location of a raw
-socket's protocol number.  I've checked this under 4.3 & Sun OS
-3.5 but you should double-check your system to make sure the
-appropriate branch of the #if is taken (check the line that
-assigned to ip->ip_p in your system's original rip_output).
-
-A couple of awk programs to massage the traceroute output are
-included.  "mean.awk" and "median.awk" compute the mean and median
-time to each hop, respectively.  I've found that something like
-
-	traceroute -q 7 foo.somewhere >t
-	awk -f median.awk t | graph
-
-can give you a quick picture of the bad spots on a long
-path (median is usually a better noise filter than mean).
-
-Enjoy.
