# The net/ctrace port

## ctrace-0.9p2 – multiprotocol traceroute tool

## Description

    ctrace is an IPv4 traceroute tool that supports many features missing
    in standard 4.3BSD traceroute(8). It is programmed entirely in perl.

    The primary difference between ctrace and other traceroute tools is
    its ability to trace routes in multiple protocols. ctrace also has
    some additional nifty features:

    Automatic round-trip-time (RTT) averaging, which makes output
    cleaner and more intelligible.

    One or more packets can be launched per TTL/hop. By way of
    contrast, 4.3BSD traceroute(8) forces at least two. This
    capability makes ctrace faster.

    4.3BSD traceroute(8) emulation in most output, so it will hook
    in to existing parsers.

    The ability to skip an arbitrary number of hops, saving you
    time that would be normally wasted tracerouting your own
    network.

    Fine-grained control over trace packet headers, assisting in
    bypassing burdensome packet filters.

    Web-based traceroute gateway bounce support.
