LFT - Layer Four Traceroute?
hello, I have read about the LFT Tool at the following web page: http://www.mainnerve.com/lft/ It looks like this traceroute might succeed where traditional UDP Traceroutes fail. Does anybody know of any publicly accessible traceroute servers which are running LFT in the background? Thanks Russ Here are some other interesting online tools: AS Trace between any two starting points: http://www.fixedorbit.com/trace.htm AS Path Visualization: http://lab.verat.net/Jaspvi/ GASP - Graphical AS path: http://mogwai.frnog.org/sysctl/gasp/ (offline at the moment) _________________________________________________________________ Russ Haynal - Internet Instructor, Speaker and Paradigm Shaker "Helping organizations gain the most benefit from the Internet" russ@navigators.com http://navigators.com 703-729-1757

You mean kinda like the dozens of other tools that have included TCP or ICMP based traceroute over the past many years? "Woo".

Why? It's probably only useful for getting around trivial firewalls if you can tune the port that you're trying to get through on. With the number of abuse complaints generated by "you're sending me data on port 80", I'm not sure any sane person would want to leave a tool which sends TCP open to the public anyways. -- Richard A Steenbergen <ras@e-gerbil.net> http://www.e-gerbil.net/ras GPG Key ID: 0xF8B12CBC (7535 7F59 8204 ED1F CC1C 53AF 4C41 5ECA F8B1 2CBC)

I use tcptraceroute. I really like it. http://michael.toren.net/code/tcptraceroute/ You will see another one that I like and run as well called tcpping.
