  • 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.

    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]

  • MTR Traceroute

  • Internet goes out every day at 4:15pm
    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.

  • Troubleshooting Issues
    1 project | /r/VOIP | 15 Aug 2022
    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.

  • Tmux over ssh freezes faster then ssh session timeout
    1 project | /r/tmux | 17 May 2022
    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).
  • What's everyone working on this week (17/2022)?
    9 projects | /r/rust | 25 Apr 2022
    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.

  • Timing with Curl (2010)
    2 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 15 Aug 2023
    curl is fantastic. There's also HTTPStat which provides a waterfall visualization on top of curl timings: https://github.com/reorx/httpstat

    There's also Skytrace (made by yours truly), which provides timing info as a waterfall visualization inspired by HTTPStat + lots more (syntax highlighting for responses, built-in JMESPath support, command-line assertions and checks etc) - https://github.com/artilleryio/artillery/tree/main/packages/...

  • Show HN: A Swiss army knife for testing HTTP from the terminal
    5 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 10 May 2022
    thank you! we just grab the timings info for the request from the underlying HTTP library, and sprinkle some ASCII art on top. That part was inspired by httpstat [1]

    We want to extend those with support for Server-Timing next, and also Core Web Vitals [3] (via Playwright) for web pages.
