mtr combines the functionality of the traceroute and ping programs in a single network diagnostic tool.
As mtr starts, it investigates the network connection between the host mtr runs on and HOSTNAME. by sending packets with purposely low TTLs. It continues to send packets with low TTL, noting the response time of the intervening routers. This allows mtr to print the response percentage and response times of the internet route to HOSTNAME. A sudden increase in packet loss or response time is often an indication of a bad (or simply overloaded) link.
Installation
sudo apt install mtr
Usage
mtr 1.1.1.1 man mtr
By default it loads the GUI. To display the results in CLI, there's two different ways to do this:
If you never want the GUI, install mtr-tiny instead of mtr. It's the curses-only version.
- If you want to be able to use the GUI sometimes, then use the --curses
command line option when you want the CLI version. You can use a shell alias for this if you want:
Run and add following line to ~/.bashrc or similar file:
alias mtr='mtr --curses'
