Step Counter (My Traceroute howto)

“Charly takes the name of the “My Traceroute” tool very
literally. The journey is the reward for this alternative
TTL-measuring utility.

“Been there, done that – there is no need for most network
administrators to think twice about the command syntax for the
trace​route command; the diagnostics tool is something you
probably have a gut feeling for, and you can shake it out of your
sleeve without too much human latency. On my permanent search for
perfection – and because laziness is a virtue in network
management – I finally stumbled across My Traceroute, or MTR
for short. I immediately liked MTR: it is proud to have reached
version number 0.79 after just 13 years of development – no
need to rush things, after all.”
