ftrace - Fast Traceroute for Win32

About

Ftrace is an enhanced traceroute application for Windows. It is faster than standard tracert.exe whilst preserving the same command line interface and also provides new options such as UDP support. A GUI version is also available which eases in copying the results to other applications.

Features

• UDP support for getting past stupid routers/firewalls that block ICMP (requires raw sockets; thus needs Administrator privileges and Win2k/XP).
• Optional DNS cache file to speed up commonly traced routes.
• Configurable buffer size, pings per hop, ttl and tos settings.
• Faster than Windows standard tracert.exe due to no delay between hops.
• (GUI version only) Easy copy to clipboard as plain text or vB code for posting to forums.
