  A network diagnostic tool

You are right that showing packet loss for intermediate hops is a frequent source of confusion.

Rather than leave it out, I added a status column which shows different statuses for intermediate hops (blue if the hop responds to less than 100% of probes and brown if it responds to 0%) vs the target hop (amber and red).

Where this breaks down is when dealing with ECMP for UDP & TCP tracing, as a given hop (ttl) may represent the target for a given round of tracing but not for the next. The mistake, imho, is to associate _any_ data with a hop (ttl) rather than the hop in the context of a tracing flow.

That is why Trippy had a number of features aimed at helping with ECMP, such as Paris and Dublin tracing, and the ability to filter tracing by unique flow id. I've covered these quite a bit in the 0.8.0 [0] and 0.9.0 [1] release notes if you want to know more.

  Rust library that's all about cooking up terminal user interfaces (TUIs) 👨‍🍳🐀

  

The TUI is built with the awesome Ratatui [0] library (formerly tui-rs [1]). UX is certainly not my area of expertise and I would not have been able to create Trippy without this library.

That looks great, seems like they've raised the bar for GeoIp accuracy, kudos to them.

It looks like they provide mmdb files (for a fee) which should be compatible with Trippy. I'd love to be able to test it out, the sample [0] they provide is rather limited but I guess enough to test compatibility.
