Public bug reported: traceroute (ipv4) displays the FQDN and the IP of the host it is about to trace:
$ traceroute free.fr traceroute to free.fr (212.27.48.10), 30 hops max, 60 byte packets $ traceroute comcast6.net traceroute to comcast6.net (69.252.80.75), 30 hops max, 60 byte packets traceroute 6 does the same thing, but can't display the FQDN properly: $ traceroute6 free.fr traceroute to @D}HsU (2a01:e0c:1::1) from <snip>, 30 hops max, 24 byte packets $ traceroute6 comcast6.net traceroute to P����U (2001:558:feed:1:69:252:80:75) from <snip>7, 30 hops max, 24 byte packets Instead of the garbled text before the IPv6, it should display the FQDN, just like it does for IPv4.
