Traceroute Tools

3d Traceroute is a full blown three dimensional traceroute program that allows you to visually monitor internet connectivity. It offers an attractive and fast loading 3D interface as well as optional text results. The 3D graphs can be manipulated by rotation, zoom and several other options. You can also record and playback individual traces for detailed investigation. 3d Traceroute also offers statistical displays as well as keeping track of trace history. Additional support is offer for OpenGL interface. A Pro version with additional features is available for purchase.

WinMTR is a Windows clone of popular Matt`s traceroute (mtr) Linux program. It combines the functionality of the `traceroute` and `ping` programs in a single network diagnostic tool. It is small and easy to use and also offers to copy the results to the clipboard in text or HTML format.

Ping Plotter is an enhanced trace route program. It does all the things a normal trace route program does - just faster. It also adds some great features (graphing, enhanced statistics, etc.). Basically, Ping Plotter is a trace route program - but adds some graphs, plus some serious performance upgrades. It uses the multi-threading capabilities of Windows to check performance on all hops in the route at the same time. This has several advantages: 1) It s a lot faster. 2) All hops are tested at the same time - rather than many seconds apart - so the comparison is better. Another advantage of Ping Plotter is that you can set it to a continuous mode - where it will test the same route over and over again - forever if you want. That way you can watch the performance over a period of time without having to re-run the program over and over again.

Trout is a traceroute and Whois program. It supplies detailed information and has the option to copy the trace to the clipboard (in HTML format if needed).

The fastes traceroute around! How you ever wanted to know what other computers your information packets go through on the internet? Or maybe your connection seems a little bit slow, and you`d like to know where the slowdown`s happening... These and many other questions can be answered by AnalogX HyperTrace. AnalogX HyperTrace is a GUI version of traceroute, which shows you the route that information travels from your machine to another machine on the internet. Of course, AnalogX wasn`t happy just making a GUI version, HyperTrace is also faster, and not just a little bit; on average of 20-30x faster than before! It displays each hop, machine name, machine response time, and the route TTL. If you`re a system admin, or even just an interested user, AnalogX HyperTrace is a great tool to give you both information about your connection, as well as spot problem areas in your connection!
