License : GPLv2
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).
