About:
Scamper is a tool for network performance measurement and diagnostics. It performs parallel traceroute-style probes to discover network paths and measure latency, loss, and other metrics. It supports multiple protocols including ICMP, UDP, and TCP, making it useful for detailed network analysis.
Key Features:
  • Parallel probing for efficient network discovery
  • Support for ICMP, UDP, and TCP protocols
  • Comprehensive path and latency measurement
  • IPv4 and IPv6 support
Use Cases:
  • Network path discovery and topology mapping
  • Measuring network latency and packet loss
  • Troubleshooting routing issues and connectivity problems
  • Internet-scale network measurement research
Alternatives:
  • traceroute – Standard utility with basic functionality, lacks scamper's advanced features and parallelization
  • mtr – Combines traceroute and ping but with less protocol flexibility than scamper
