Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist * Package name : scamper Version : 20070523i Upstream Author : Matthew Luckie <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * URL or Web page : http://www.wand.net.nz/scamper/ * License : GNU GPL v2 Description : advanced traceroute and network measurement utility
scamper is a program that is able to conduct Internet measurement tasks to large numbers of IPv4 and IPv6 addresses, in parallel, to fill a specified packets-per-second rate. Currently, it supports the well-known ping and traceroute techniques. . scamper can do ICMP-based Path MTU discovery. scamper starts with the outgoing interface's MTU and discovers the location of Path MTU bottlenecks. scamper performs a PMTUD search when an ICMP fragmentation required message is not returned to establish the PMTU to the next point in the network, followed by a TTL limited search to infer the where failure appears to occur. -- Matt Brown [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mob +353 86 608 7117 www.mattb.net.nz -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
