Is there a way or tool to find the route between two arbitrary hosts from one of my local machines? In other words, given two host IP addresses A and B, I would like to find the route between A and B. I can use a source route, 'traceroute -g', to approximate the route. I have tried this option. Lots of routers, however, do not accept source routes. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.

Absent source routing capability, you will need to be on one of the machines. It is also important to understand that traceroute displays the route from a to b while depending on both the route from a to b and the route from each hop to the source of the traceroute probe packets. It will only display the addresses of the interface that received the probe packets. Owen --On Friday, November 15, 2002 8:39 -0500 Minseok Kwon <kwonm@cs.purdue.edu> wrote:
