Traceroute [Jacobson88], originally
written by Van Jacobson in 1988, has become a
classic tool for determining the routes that
packets take from a source host to a destination
host. It does not provide any information
regarding the physical location of each node
along the route, which makes it difficult to
effectively identify geographically circuitous
unicast routing. Indeed, there are examples of
paths between hosts just a few miles apart that
cross the entire United States and back,
phenomena not immediately evident from the
textual output of traceroute. While such path
information may not be of much interest to many
end users, it can provide valuable insight to
system administrators, network engineers,
operators and analysts. We present a tool that
depicts geographically the IP path information
that traceroute provides, drawing the nodes on a
world map according to their latitude/longitude
coordinates.
