NAME

       itrace - similar to traceroute, yet uses ICMP echo

DESCRIPTION

       This  manual  page documents briefly the itrace command.  This manual page was written for
       the Debian distribution because the original program does not have a manual page.

       Itrace is a program that implements traceroute(1) functionality using  ICMP  echo  request
       packets.

       Therefore, it looks like you are just pinging your target while you traceroute there.

       It often helps tracing behind firewalls.

       Typical Usage:

       itrace -i eth0 -d www.phenoelit.de

       -v              verbose

       -n              reverse lookup answering IPs (slow!)

       -p x            send x probes per hop (default=3)

       -m x            set TTL max to x (default=30)

       -t x            timout after x seconds (default=3)

       -i interface    the normal eth0 stuff

       -d destination  Name or IP of destination
