fast-mda-traceroute 0.1.13

An experimental multipath traceroute tool.

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.
