mtr

You can diagnose network latency and packet loss by combining traceroute and ping functionalities to continuously probe each hop. This approach pinpoints exactly where bottlenecks or failures occur along the network path in real-time.

Yes, you can use TCP and UDP protocols for traceroute to bypass ICMP rate limiting. Probing network hops with these alternative protocols ensures accurate latency and packet loss detection when ICMP traffic is restricted.

The best way to monitor live network path issues is using an interactive TUI that continuously probes each hop. This live monitoring displays real-time latency and packet loss, identifying whether connectivity issues lie with your local network, ISP, or backbone.

Yes, you need the mtr command-line utility installed on your system to trace network routes. The diagnostic functionality relies entirely on this underlying utility to continuously probe hops and display latency and packet loss.

Continuous hop probing combines ping and traceroute into a single live view, updating latency and packet loss for every hop simultaneously. Standard traceroute provides a single snapshot, making it difficult to catch intermittent network path issues.
