-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2008-8288 2008-10-03 21:15:56 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : traceroute Product : Fedora 8 Version : 2.0.12 Release : 1.fc8 URL : http://traceroute.sourceforge.net Summary : Traces the route taken by packets over an IPv4/IPv6 network Description : The traceroute utility displays the route used by IP packets on their way to a specified network (or Internet) host. Traceroute displays the IP number and host name (if possible) of the machines along the route taken by the packets. Traceroute is used as a network debugging tool. If you're having network connectivity problems, traceroute will show you where the trouble is coming from along the route.
Install traceroute if you need a tool for diagnosing network connectivity problems.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information:
Update to the latest version 2.0.12. This version adds some new features (including support for ICMP extensions and MPLS, automatic path mtu discovery, guessing of the number of hops in backward direction etc.), and fixes some little bugs. The optional second argument is interpreted now as the full packet length (including IP headers), not a payload length only. It is obvious due to the nature of this feature, and it is the behaviour of the previous implementation. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ChangeLog:
