mtr does ping and traceroute in one go – bold/red lines are for non-responding hosts
Posted by jpluimers on 2018/01/19
I learned about mtr via [WayBack] Bufferbloat Demystified – Andrew Clunis which I found via [WayBack] Älterer Artikel, der Bufferbload und https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CoDel erklärt. – Kristian Köhntopp – Google+
mtr is cool:
mtr combines the functionality of the ‘traceroute’ and ‘ping’ programs in a single network diagnostic tool.
Running it, I saw occasional bold lines that were not mentioned in the README, but after a search in the repo I found it to be in documented NEWS:
Draw names in red (GTK) or bold (Curses) if host doesn’t respond.
Some times from here across to California back when I still had ADSL:
ADSL – xs4all
Fiber – Helden van nu
Fiber – xs4all
All WAN connections
