Archie Cobbs f5004fb09b Add the capability for traceroute(8) to send packets of any IP protocol
instead of just UDP; an alternate protocol is specified by '-P proto'.
This is useful for finding routers that are blocking packets based on
IP protocol.  New handlers can be added fairly easily to do protocol-
specific things.

TRACEROUTE 1.3

Traceroute is a system administrators utility to trace the route
ip packets from the current system take in getting to some
destination system.  See the comments at the front of the
program for a description of its use.

This program uses raw ip sockets and must be run as root (or installed
setuid to root).

A couple of awk programs to massage the traceroute output are
included.  "mean.awk" and "median.awk" compute the mean and median time
to each hop, respectively.  I've found that something like

    traceroute -q 7 foo.somewhere >t
    awk -f median.awk t | graph

can give you a quick picture of the bad spots on a long path (median is
usually a better noise filter than mean).

Problems, bugs, questions, desirable enhancements, source code
contributions, etc., should be sent to the email address
"traceroute@ee.lbl.gov".
