Mtr utility

The utility (short for ‘my traceroute’) can be used as a network diagnostic tool, and combines the functionality of traceroute and ping utilities in one single program to provide a lot more statistical information. The tool checks the connection between the source (on which the command has been given) and the destination. A table of values is given as output and is refreshed continuously till the user presses Ctrl-C. The -r option gives a static report. Ideally, both ends of the network have to be tested using mtr to get a complete picture.
