Package: traceroute-nanog (6.4.2-1)

Determine route of packets in TCP/IP networks (NANOG variant)

This is the traceroute program maintained by Ehud Gavron. It is based on the Van Jacobson/BSD traceroute and has additional features like AS lookup, TOS support, microsecond timestamps, path MTU discovery, parallel probing and others. The NANOG traceroute upstream FTP archive can be found at ftp://ftp.login.com/pub/software/traceroute/.

This program as installed is only usable by the root user. If you want to provide traceroute-like functionality to ordinary users as well, consider installing the package `iputils-tracepath'.
