"@dfn{mtr} (My TraceRoute) combines the functionality of the
@command{traceroute} and @command{ping} programs in a single network diagnostic
tool. @command{mtr} uses ICMP ECHO packets to detect intermediate routers (or
@dfn{hops}) between the local host and a user-specified destination. It then
continually measures the response time and packet loss at each hop, and
tool. @command{mtr} can use several network protocols to detect intermediate
routers (or @dfn{hops}) between the local host and a user-specified destination.
It then continually measures the response time and packet loss at each hop, and
displays the results in real time.")
