mtr Description

mtr combines the functionality of the 'traceroute' and 'ping' programs in a single network diagnostic tool. mtr combines the functionality of the 'ping' and 'traceroute' 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.CompatibilityMtr uses autoconf. This should allow compatibility with a large range of operating systems. Feel free to report problems. We can then try to iron them out. I don't have much experience in using autoconf. Therefore I'm eager to learn more about it, as it seems a very useful tool. I've been editing small sections of the autoconf files, but I welcome suggestions on how to do things better. There usually IS a way to do it better.... Compiling MTRCompiling mtr should be as easy as "make". If it is harder for you, your computer is misconfigured, or there is a problem with mtr that we should take care of. Please report this kind of problems. What's New in This Release: · Massive use of snprintf() was introduced to prevent potential buffer overfows. · Intermediate host names can now be copied to the clipboard. · An option for wide report mode, where host names are not truncated, was added.
