Likelihood to Recommend

PingPlotter is great if you would like to monitor one or many targets, and see what routes they take, and how it changes over time. If you would like to have a bit more detailed information, you have to go for external sources (like country, ASN, etc... information). If you are looking for that kind of information, some other tool might be better.

Trace your network like you trace your steps!
