fast-mda-traceroute 0.1.1

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 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

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

Note that we do not yet provide ARM64 binary wheels for Caracal and Diamond-Miner. If you use such as a system (e.g. a Raspberry Pi or an Apple M1-based machine) you must have a C++ compiler installed and the installation time might be a little longer (~5 minutes on a M1 MacBook Air).

Usage

fast-mda-traceroute --help
fast-mda-traceroute example.org

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

Development

poetry install
poetry run fast-mda-traceroute --help

docker build -t fast-mda-traceroute .
docker run fast-mda-traceroute --help
