fast-mda-traceroute

fast-mda-traceroute is an experimental multipath traceroute tool based on caracal and diamond-miner. It aims to provide a faster alternative to paris-traceroute and scamper for running one-off measurements. It runs on Linux and macOS, on x86-64 and ARM64 systems.

🚧 This tool is highly experimental, may not always work, and its interface is subject to change from one commit to another.

Quickstart

Docker

docker run ghcr.io/dioptra-io/fast-mda-traceroute --help

The latest tag maps to the latest tagged commit and the main tag maps to the latest commit on the main branch.

Python

You can use pip, or pipx to install fast-mda-traceroute in a dedicated virtual environment:

pipx install fast-mda-traceroute
fast-mda-traceroute --help

Usage

# Show help
fast-mda-traceroute --help
# Multipath traceroute towards example.org with default options
fast-mda-traceroute example.org
# Print paris-traceroute equivalent command
fast-mda-traceroute --print-command=paris-traceroute example.org
# Print scamper equivalent command
fast-mda-traceroute --print-command=scamper example.org

fast-mda-traceroute outputs log messages to stderr and measurement results to stdout.
