Description : MTR combines the functionality of the 'traceroute' and 'ping'
: programs in a single network diagnostic tool.
:
: When MTR is started, it investigates the network connection
: between the host MTR runs on and the user-specified destination
: host. Afterwards it determines the address of each network hop
: between the machines and sends a sequence of ICMP echo requests to
: each one to determine the quality of the link to each machine.
: While doing this, it prints running statistics about each machine.
:
: MTR provides two user interfaces: an ncurses interface, useful for
: the command line, e.g. for SSH sessions; and a GTK+ interface for
: X (provided in the mtr-gtk package).
