Paris Traceroute

Paris Traceroute is a new version of the well-known network diagnosis and
measurement tool.

Why should you use Paris traceroute?
Because traceroute fails in the presence of routers that employ load balancing
on packet header fields. The failures lead to the discovery of inaccurate and
incomplete paths, that may mislead operators during problem diagnosis and result
in erroneous internet maps.
Paris traceroute, by controling packet header contents, obtains a more precise
picture of the actual routes that packets follow.
For a quick demonstration, look at the figure on the right. Suppose you are
trying to measure the route between Src and Dst . The true router topology is
shown on the left. L is a router that balances load across two paths, via
routers A or C. The middle of the figure shows what you might see with classic
traceroute. On the right is what you would get with Paris traceroute...
