SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill troubleshoots network connectivity and performance issues by providing detailed path analysis and continuous monitoring from diverse global locations.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Advanced Traceroute: Detects MPLS labels, ECMP paths, and NAT translations.
  • Continuous MTR Monitoring: Identifies intermittent packet loss and latency spikes.
  • Global Probes: Compares paths from over 500 worldwide locations for comprehensive analysis.
  • Use Case: When users report slow access to a specific application, use this Skill to trace the network path, identify bottlenecks, and continuously monitor for performance degradation.

Quick Start

Trace the network path to 8.8.8.8 using the traceroute tool.

Frequently Asked Questions about gtrace-path-analysis

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I trace network paths and detect MPLS or ECMP routing?▼

Network path tracing detects MPLS labels, ECMP paths, and NAT translations using advanced traceroute tools. It analyzes routing paths from global probe locations to identify connectivity issues and performance bottlenecks.

Why do I need continuous MTR monitoring for intermittent packet loss?▼

Continuous MTR monitoring identifies intermittent packet loss and latency spikes over time. It provides ongoing path analysis to detect transient network degradation that standard traceroute snapshots miss.

How do I troubleshoot slow application access from different global locations?▼

Global probes compare network paths from over 500 worldwide locations to troubleshoot slow application access. This distributed analysis identifies regional bottlenecks and performance variations affecting users.

Can I use python3 to run gtrace binaries for network performance analysis?▼

Yes, network performance analysis requires python3 and gtrace binaries. You can optionally configure the GTRACE_MCP_BIN environment variable to specify custom binary paths for executing distributed probes.

What is the best way to monitor network paths for intermittent latency spikes?▼

The best way to monitor latency spikes is continuous MTR monitoring. It tracks network paths over time to identify intermittent packet loss and latency variations, providing deeper insight than single traceroute executions.
