WinMTR (Redux) in an extended fork of Appnor's WinMTR (sourceforge)
with IPv6 support and other different enhancements and bug fixes
Download (binaries)
Differences to WinMTR 0.98
[x]- removed Windows 2000 support[x]+ added IPv6 support[x]+ clickable entries when stopped.. (why the heck wasn't it possible before?)[x]* added start delay of about 30ms for each hop (870ms before the 30th hop gets queried)
this should improve performance and reduces network load[x]! fixed trace list freeze (list didn't update while tracing, happens when tracing just one hop)[x]* theme support (more fancy look :P)[ ]+ remembers window size[ ]! CTRL+A works for host input[ ]+ host history: pressing del key or right mouse will remove selected entry[ ]* new icon
Requirements
- Windows XP+ (Windows 2000 support can be added on request, but IPv6 will not work)
- Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributables (32bit | 64bit) or use static build
About me / why I decided to create this fork
There isn't that much to say actually, I've been using IPv6 for a few years now thanks to SixXS
and it always annoyed me that WinMTR couldn't handle IPv6... finally my ISP got some sort of IPv6 beta test.
And that's what I wanted to compare: native vs SixXS with long-term trace routes such as those WinMTR provides.
Since there wasn't any WinMTR build with IPv6, I decided to do it myself ;) The result can be seen here :P
(after 1 day for IPv6, and 2 additional days to fix other stuff and polishing)
If you're looking for an alternative (not meant for long-term traces) there's vTrace. It's some really interesting piece of Software ;) (with more then just trace routes)
