Subject: 3 Party traceroute
Date: Thu, 03 Aug 89 10:40:06 EDT
Status: R
Attached below is a patch file for Van Jacobson's traceroute, to add support
the IP LSRR (Loose Source Record Route) option in addition to the standard
traceroute/ttl stuff.
This is useful for asking how somebody else reaches a particular target.
For example: "traceroute -g 10.3.0.5 128.182.0.0" shows the path from the
Cambridge Mailbridge to PSC. This works from (almost) anywhere!
traceroute -g 192.5.146.4 -g 10.3.0.5 35.0.0.0
Shows how the Cambridge Mailbrige reaches Merit, by using PSC to reach the
Mailbridge.
This version is substantially cleaned up by Jeff Honig at Cornell. Thanks!
Van Jacobson's original traceroute (spring 1988) supported this feature,
but he removed it due to pressure from people with broken gateways. At the
July 1989 IETF this issue was discussed, and the only objection noted was
later retracted with "I've been trying to get my management to upgrade our
gateways for a long time, maybe this will force the issue". I expect Van's
traceroute to support LSRR sometime soon. This patch should be considered
interim.
The Van's traceroute is available with anonymous ftp from ftp.ee.lbl.gov.
It does require kernel mods (Sorry, I don't have object modules.)
Caveats:
LSRR must be fully supported at least as far as the specified gateway. This
seems to be the case for the NSFnet, ARPAnet and all reasonably recent
commercial gateways/routers.
LSRR must be supported (recognized as completed) or ignored between the
specified gateway to the final target. This seems to be the case almost
every where else.
THERE MAY STILL BE GATEWAYS OUT IN THE INTERNET WHICH HAVE FATAL BUGS IN THE
CODE TO PROCESS ROUTING OPTIONS. Be nice to your neighbors.
All of the the usual disclaimers about free code apply.

.SH DESCRIPTION
The Internet is a large and complex aggregation of
network hardware, connected together by gateways.
Tracking the route one's packets follow (or finding the miscreant
gateway that's discarding your packets) can be difficult.
.I Traceroute
utilizes the IP protocol `time to live' field and attempts to elicit an
ICMP TIME_EXCEEDED response from each gateway along the path to some
host.
.PP
The only mandatory parameter is the destination host name or IP number.
The default probe datagram length is 38 bytes, but this may be increased
by specifying a packet size (in bytes) after the destination host name.
.PP
Other options are:
.TP 5 5
.BI \-m\ n
Set the max time-to-live (max number of hops) used in outgoing probe
packets to
.I n
hops.
The default is 30 hops (the same default used for TCP connections).
.TP 5 5
.B \-n
Print hop addresses numerically rather than symbolically and numerically
(saves a nameserver address-to-name lookup for each gateway found on the
path).
.TP 5 5
.BI \-p\ n
Set the base UDP port number used in probes to
.I n
(default is 33434).
.I Traceroute
hopes that nothing is listening on UDP ports
.I base
to
.I base+nhops-1
at the destination host (so an ICMP PORT_UNREACHABLE message will
be returned to terminate the route tracing).
If something is listening on a port in the default range,
this option can be used to pick an unused port range.
.TP 5 5
.B \-r
Bypass the normal routing tables and send directly to a host on an attached
network.
If the host is not on a directly-attached network,
an error is returned.
This option can be used to ping a local host through an interface
that has no route through it (e.g., after the interface was dropped by
.IR routed (8C)).
.TP 8 8
.BI \-s\ addr
Use
.I addr
as the IP address (which must be given as an IP number,
not a hostname) as the source address in outgoing probe packets.
On hosts with more than one IP address, this option can be used to
force the source address to be something other than the IP address
of the interface the probe packet is sent on.
If the IP address is not one of this machine's interface addresses,
an error is returned and nothing is sent.
.TP 8 8
.BI \-g\ addr
Enable the IP LSRR (Loose Source Record Route) option in addition to the
TTL tests.
This is useful for asking how somebody else, at IP address
.IR addr ,
reaches a particular target.
.TP 8 8
.BI \-t\ tos
Set the
.I type-of-service
in probe packets to the following value (default zero).
The value must be a decimal integer in the range 0 to 255.
This option can be used to see if different types-of-service result
in different paths.
(If you are not running 4.4bsd, this may be academic since the normal network
services like telnet and ftp don't let you control the TOS).
Not all values of TOS are legal or meaningful \- see the IP spec
for definitions.
Useful values are probably `\-t 16' (low delay) and `\-t 8' (high throughput).
.TP 5 5
.B \-v
Verbose output.
Received ICMP packets other than TIME_EXCEEDED and UNREACHABLEs are listed.
.TP 5 5
.BI \-w\ n
Set the time to wait for a response to a probe to
.I n
seconds (default 3 sec.).
.PP
This program attempts to trace the route an IP packet would follow to some
internet host by launching UDP probe packets with a small ttl (time to live)
then listening for an ICMP "time exceeded" reply from a gateway.
We start our probes with a ttl of one and increase by one until we get an
ICMP "port unreachable" (which means we got to "host") or hit a max (which
defaults to 30 hops & can be changed with the
.B \-m
flag).
Three probes (change with
.B \-q
flag) are sent at each ttl setting and a line is printed showing the ttl,
address of the gateway and round trip time of each probe.
If the probe answers come from different gateways,
the address of each responding system will be printed.
If there is no response within a 3 sec. timeout interval (changed with the
.B \-w
flag), a "*" is printed for that probe.
.PP
We don't want the destination host to process the UDP probe packets
so the destination port is set to an unlikely value (if some clod on
the destination is using that value, it can be changed with the
.B \-p
flag).
.PP
A sample use and output might be:

Note that lines 2 & 3 are the same. This is due to a buggy

.PP
Note that the gateways 12, 14, 15, 16 & 17 hops away
either don't send ICMP "time exceeded" messages or send them
with a ttl too small to reach us.
14 \- 17 are running the MIT C Gateway code that doesn't
send "time exceeded"s.
God only knows what's going on with 12.
.PP
The silent gateway 12 in the above may be the result of a bug in
the 4.[23]BSD network code (and its derivatives): 4.x (x <= 3)
sends an unreachable message using whatever ttl remains in the
original datagram.
Since, for gateways, the remaining ttl is zero, the ICMP "time exceeded"
is guaranteed to not make it back to us.
The behavior of this bug is slightly more interesting when it
appears on the destination system:

.RE
.PP
Notice that there are 12 "gateways" (13 is the final
destination) and exactly the last half of them are "missing".
What's really happening is that rip (a Sun-3 running Sun OS3.5)
is using the ttl from our arriving datagram as the ttl in its ICMP reply.
So, the reply will time out on the return path (with no notice sent
to anyone since ICMP's aren't sent for ICMP's)
until we probe with a ttl that's at least twice the path length.
I.e., rip is really only 7 hops away.
A reply that returns with a ttl of 1 is a clue this problem exists.
.I Traceroute
prints a "!" after the time if the ttl is <= 1.
Since vendors ship a lot of obsolete (DEC's Ultrix, Sun 3.x) or
non-standard (HPUX) software, expect to see this problem
frequently and/or take care picking the target host of your probes.
.PP
Other possible annotations after the time are
.BR !H ,
.BR !N ,
.B !P
(got a host, network or protocol unreachable, respectively),
.br
.B !S
or
.B !F
(source route failed or fragmentation needed \- neither of these should
ever occur and the associated gateway is busted if you see one).
If almost all the probes result in some kind of unreachable,
.I traceroute
will give up and exit.

This program is intended for use in network testing, measurement
and management.
It should be used primarily for manual fault isolation.
Because of the load it could impose on the network, it is unwise to use
.I traceroute
during normal operations or from automated scripts.
