How 'bout clearing up this distinction between real and imitation 


traceroute. I just don't understand the contention surrounding 


Microsoft's traceroute. Do they both not accomplish the same thing? I 


would argue that ICMP echo is the proper protocol for a traceroute 


because a firewalled target host is most likely to reply to an echo 


request. I would place hping above all other traceroute utilities. Hping 


can perform traceroutes with many protocols and ports.
