MTR
My TraceRoute (MTR) is another tool that combines multiple tools into one. MTR was originally named for Matt Kimball in 1997 and was called Matt's TraceRoute.
WinMTR is a Windows application that combines the tracert
and ping
commands. At the time of publication, it can be downloaded from www.winmtr.net
. The tool is often used for network troubleshooting. By showing a list of routers traveled and average time and packet loss, it allows administrators to identify issues between two routers responsible for overall latency. This can help identify network overuse problems. In Lab 2.4, you'll use MTR.
