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.
