MTR does none of the things you claim it does, which is directly addressed in the article.
It certainly claims to, and displays figures as if it could, but it cannot.
Even pinging the router IPs directly does not tell you your latency or packet loss to the router, for the reasons explained in the article.
mtr is built on false pretenses.
- commandersaki 2y agoThank you, combining ping & traceroute into one tool is a fools errand; keep them separate. Ping to approximate RTT & detect loss between endpoints. Traceroute to approximate forward path of a packet to destination. Combining both gets you crap like a washing & dryer combo machine where it does both neither well.
