The following module was proposed for inclusion in the Module List:
modid: Net::Traceroute::Native
DSLIP: bdpOn
description: traceroute in perl via raw sockets
userid: TSCANLAN (Tom Scanlan)
chapterid: 5 (Networking_Devices_IPC)
communities:
similar:
Net::Traceroute
rationale:
Net::Traceroute pretends that there is "one true traceroute" and
parses the output of the system traceroute binary. Not all
traceroute implementations are taken into account. By implementing
the traceroute functionality in native perl, we avoid having to
parse the many different traceroutes.
Net::Traceroute::Native avoids removing the current user base.
Also, the raw sockets require root access, so it is good to keep a
fallback for the security minded. HAG (owner of Net::Traceroute) and
I have spoken about this and he has made changes to allow this
subclass.
