mtr

Combines traceroute and ping into a single network-diagnostic tool.

mtr ("My Traceroute") sends a continuous stream of probes along the route to a destination, reporting per-hop latency and packet-loss statistics in real time. It exposes where on a network path latency and loss originate, which a one-shot traceroute cannot do.

It ships in every major Linux distribution.

Debian/Ubuntu: sudo apt install mtr
Fedora:        sudo dnf install mtr
Arch:          sudo pacman -S mtr
