Tue Dec 27 06:24:24 PST 1988 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 a) can only be run by root (it uses raw ip sockets). b) REQUIRES A KERNEL MOD to the raw ip output code to run. If you want to hack on your kernel, my modified version of the routine rip_output (in file /sys/netinet/raw_ip.c) is attached. This code may or may not resemble the code in your kernel. It may offer you a place to start but I make no promises. If you do hack your kernel, remember to test everything that uses raw ip sockets (e.g., ping and egpup/gated) & make sure they still work. I wish you the best of luck and you're on your own. If your system has the ttl bug mentioned in the source, you might want to fix it while you're in the kernel. (This bug appears in all releases of BSD up to but not including 4.3tahoe. If your version of netinet/ip_icmp.c is any earlier than 7.3 (April, '87), it has the bug.) The fix is just to add the line ip->ip_ttl = MAXTTL; after the line ip->ip_src = t; (or anywhere before the call to icmp_send) in routine icmp_reflect. If you're running this on a pre-4.3bsd system (e.g., Sun 3.x, Ultrix) that strips ip headers from icmp messages, add -DARCHAIC to CFLAGS in the Makefile. Also note that rip_output contains a conditional for a 4.2/4.3 change in the location of a raw socket's protocol number. I've checked this under 4.3 & Sun OS 3.5 but you should double-check your system to make sure the appropriate branch of the #if is taken (check the line that assigned to ip->ip_p in your system's original rip_output). 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).
