- You're right, it does. (The next question, of course, is _which_ ka9q,
- since it's getting downright confusing telling all of the different
- variations and derivatives apart.)
-
- A person here showed it to me in a version of ka9q he was running. It
- is not called traceroute, but it has the same function and roughly the
- same output.
-
- Traceroute for Unix is, of course, available in source code form. Depending
- on your IP stack of choice, porting it may not be much easier than rewriting
- it from scratch.
