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.

Compatibility

Mtr 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 MTR

Compiling 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:
The build-time check for the resolver library was improved.
Binding to a specific interface was fixed.
Incorrect display of multiple routes was fixed.
Several minor bugs were fixed.
