@(#) $Header: README,v 1.7 96/07/06 02:08:32 leres Exp $ (LBL) TRACEROUTE 1.3 Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory Network Research Group traceroute@ee.lbl.gov ftp://ftp.ee.lbl.gov/traceroute.tar.Z 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 | graph can give you a quick picture of the bad spots on a long path (median is usually a better noise filter than mean). Problems, bugs, questions, desirable enhancements, source code contributions, etc., should be sent to the email address "traceroute@ee.lbl.gov".
