scamper is a tool that actively probes the Internet in order to analyze Internet topology and performance.

This scamper module provides convenient classes and methods for interacting with scamper processes and data. The scamper module has two related halves - classes for interacting with running scamper processes (through ScamperCtrl and related classes) and classes for reading and writing data previously collected with scamper (ScamperFile). These classes are supported by other classes that store measurement results. The types of measurements supported by the scamper module include ping, traceroute, alias resolution, DNS queries, HTTP, UDP probes, and packet capture.

See the documentation for examples.

The module requires two scamper libraries (libscamperctrl and libscamperfile) to run, and their development headers to build. These two scamper libraries are provided in the scamper source code distribution, and are packaged for many operating systems, as listed on the scamper website. Where possible, use a package provided by your operating system before resorting to compiling and installing the libraries yourself. Further, the Python module is already provided in packaged form by some operating systems, and you should use the packaged module where possible.
