MTR: A Powerful Network Diagnostic Tool
2025-02-05
MTR combines the functionality of 'traceroute' and 'ping' into a single, powerful network diagnostic tool. It traces the path of a network connection and tests the quality of the link to each hop. Simply specify a destination host, and MTR displays the address and connection quality statistics for each hop, aiding in quick network problem identification. MTR is open-source, cross-platform compatible, though some older binary distributions and online services are defunct. Source code is available on GitHub for compilation, or it can be directly used via distributions like Debian.
