Failed Traceroute

Emmpunkt opened this issue · 4 comments

Hello,
Feature Request:
Can you add a pop up window (like the result of the traceroute) if traceroute fails?
I use traceroute to check my connection. I don´t want to send a lot of "Test-Test" out and annoy people ;) (difficult terrain)
But i don´t know "when" a traceroute fails. How long does the traceroute command run, till it fails? There is just nothing to see.
Regards Michael

There is no way to know when a traceroute fails as it can take several minutes for it to return.

Ah, OK.
Can i start more then one traceroute?
Or have i wait always some minutes before i start a new one?

You can start as many as you want, but keep in mind that it does use quite a bit of airtime on its way back to you so there's a higher chance of packet collisions. Better to wait a while in between each trace.

OK, thank you.
I think you can close this issue.
Michael
