About:
OpenVisualTraceroute is a cross-platform GUI application that visualizes network routing paths using traceroute data. It provides a real-time geographical map overlay showing the hops packets take to reach a destination. This tool helps network administrators and developers diagnose latency issues and understand network topology.
Key Features:
  • Real-time geographic visualization of network hops
  • Supports both TCP and UDP traceroute protocols
  • Cross-platform graphical user interface
  • Displays detailed hop statistics (latency, packet loss)
Use Cases:
  • Diagnosing network latency and routing issues
  • Visualizing the geographic path of internet traffic
  • Network topology discovery and analysis
Alternatives:
  • mtr – Terminal-based alternative with real-time stats but no GUI visualization
  • traceroute – Standard command-line tool with basic text output only
