What is WinMTR?

What is WinMTR?

WinMTR is a Windows clone of MTR. MTR is run on a computer to provide detailed hop test data (a series of brief measurements).

How do you read traceroute results?

A traceroute displays the path that the signal took as it traveled around the Internet to the website. It also displays times which are the response times that occurred at each stop along the route. If there is a connection problem or latency connecting to a site, it will show up in these times.

How do I read a WinMTR file?

How to read the results:

  1. Host name – a domain name or IP of the host.
  2. No – the index number of the host.
  3. Loss % – the percentage of packet loss at each hop.
  4. Sent – the number of packets sent.
  5. Recv – the number of packets received.
  6. Best – the best (shortest) round trip time for a packet to this host.

Does WinMTR use ICMP?

By default, MTR sends ICMP echo request packets and uses the ICMP time exceeded error message to determine the devices in the path between source and destination.

What tools does VisualRoute integrate with?

Visual Route is an easy to use graphical user interface that integrates various tools such as traceroute, ping, and whois (the most common commands taught in a networking course) to check Internet connectivity, and displays the actual route of connections and IP address locations on a global map (Exercise 2, Exercise 3 …

What is Asymm in traceroute?

asymm means the the path to the hop and back have been different (asymmetric). This usually happens when there is some link in one direction jammed or the network architecture encourages different paths for the different directions. The number after asymm shows the grade of asymmetry (i.e. how many hops are different).

What does a * * * Line in the traceroute response mean?

A hop that outputs * * * means that the router at that hop doesn’t respond to the type of packet you were using for the traceroute (by default it’s UDP on Unix-like and ICMP on Windows).
