trippy
Network diagnostic tool combining traceroute and ping
TLDR
Trace route to a host
$ trip [example.com]
Use TCP protocol for tracing$ trip [example.com] -p tcp
Use UDP protocol on a specific port$ trip [example.com] -p udp --target-port [53]
Set maximum number of hops (TTL)$ trip [example.com] --max-ttl [30]
Trace multiple targets simultaneously$ trip [example.com] [example.org]
SYNOPSIS
trip [options] target [target ...]
DESCRIPTION
trippy combines the functionality of traceroute and ping into a single tool with a real-time TUI interface for network path analysis. It supports multiple tracing protocols (ICMP, UDP, TCP), IPv6, GeoIP visualization, and advanced ECMP strategies. Runs on Linux, BSD, macOS, and Windows.
