  • Trippy 0.9.0 Release
    2 projects | /r/rust | 5 Dec 2023
    As a reminder, Trippy combines the functionality of traceroute and ping and is designed to assist with the analysis of networking issues. You can think of it as a modern, cross platform, Rust based version of tools such as mtr, with a bunch of advanced features and a fancy TUI.
  • Show HN: How did YOUR computer reach my server?

    Cool project! Two suggestions, one serious, one frivolous:

    - I wonder if you could get more accurate results by using TCP or UDP instead of ICMP. I think traditional traceroute has an option to use UDP, mtr [1] can use TCP or UDP, and tcptraceroute [2] can use TCP.

    - This would be a perfect fit for some Talking Heads references. "And you may ask yourself, well, how did I get here?" [3]

    1 project | /r/OPTIMUM | 12 Mar 2023
    Run mtr, or whatever the Windows equivalent might be, and leave it running shortly before 4:15pm, and see where the traffic stops when the Internet shuts off.

    Consider using MTR (software) towards the actual end-point of the SIP connection to get a combination of traceroute and ping which will be much more revealing. This will also allow you to quickly identify if the problem is local to your equipment or somewhere along the path. Consider allowing her to join a Google Conference from Teams to determine if it is provider related. Yes, port mirroring and wire shark is the gold standard and will display the "answer" on your screen quickly but it requires skills to know what to analyze, look at and how to interpret the data.

    Have you tried something like mtr to check for connection issues? I would recommand the view you get when hitting d twice after starting it (with the colored graph for latencies).

    Continuing to build trippy; a network diagnostic tool inspired by mtr. There is still a long way to go but it is getting closer to feature parity with mtr.
