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 uses raw ip sockets and must be run as root (or installed
|
|
setuid to root).
|
|
|
|
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 | xgraph
|
|
|
|
can give you a quick picture of the bad spots on a long path (median is
|
|
usually a better noise filter than mean).
|
|
|
