One of the latest versions of 'traceroute' can be retrieved via
anonymous ftp from machine 'ftp.nikhef.nl' [192.16.199.1]
in the directory '/pub/network' as 'traceroute.tar.Z' .

New features include optional ttl reporting, and use of the loose
source routing facility to show routes between arbitrary destinations.

It has been adapted for use on those platforms which do not support
IPPROTO_RAW manipulation, such as HP-UX.

For those who already have a copy: the current version is 930211.

This 'traceroute' is running on the following platforms:
HP/hpux, SGI/irix, IBM/aix, SUN/sunos, DEC/ultrix, Apollo/domain
No kernel modifications are needed on these systems using recent
operating system releases.
