Install from source
After manually installing Go >= 1.20, you can use the following command to install:
go install github.com/xgadget-lab/nexttrace@latest
The executable after installation is in the
$GOPATH/bindirectory. If you did not setGOPATH, it is in the$HOME/go/bindirectory.
NextTrace uses the ICMP protocol to perform TraceRoute requests by default, which supports both IPv4 and IPv6
# IPv4 ICMP Trace
nexttrace 1.0.0.1
# URL
nexttrace http://example.com:8080/index.html?q=1
# Form printing
nexttrace --table 1.0.0.1
# An Output Easy to Parse
nexttrace --raw 1.0.0.1
nexttrace --json 1.0.0.1
# IPv4/IPv6 Resolve Only
nexttrace --ipv4 g.co
nexttrace --ipv6 g.co
# IPv6 ICMP Trace
nexttrace 2606:4700:4700::1111
# Disable Path Visualization With the -M parameter
nexttrace koreacentral.blob.core.windows.net
# MapTrace URL: https://api.leo.moe/tracemap/html/c14e439e-3250-5310-8965-42a1e3545266.htmlPS: The routing visualization drawing module was written by @tsosunchia, and the specific code can be viewed at tsosunchia/traceMap.
Note that in LeoMoeAPI 2.0, due to the addition of geographical location data, we have deprecated the online query part of the OpenStreetMap API in the traceMap plugin and are using location information from our own database.
The routing visualization function requires the geographical coordinates of each Hop, but third-party APIs generally do not provide this information, so this function is currently only supported when used with LeoMoeAPI.
NextTrace now supports quick testing, and friends who have a one-time backhaul routing test requirement can use it
# IPv4 ICMP Fast Test (Beijing + Shanghai + Guangzhou + Hangzhou) in China Telecom / Unicom / Mobile / Education Network
nexttrace --fast-trace
# You can also use TCP SYN for testing
nexttrace --fast-trace --tcpNextTrace already supports route tracing for specified Network Devices
# Use eth0 network interface
nexttrace --dev eth0 2606:4700:4700::1111
# Use eth0 network interface's IP
# When using the network interface's IP for route tracing, note that the IP type to be traced should be the same as network interface's IP type (e.g. both IPv4)
nexttrace --source 204.98.134.56 9.9.9.9NextTrace can also use TCP and UDP protocols to perform Traceroute requests, but UDP protocols only supports IPv4 now
# TCP SYN Trace
nexttrace --tcp www.bing.com
# You can specify the port by yourself [here is 443], the default port is 80
nexttrace --tcp --port 443 2001:4860:4860::8888
# UDP Trace
nexttrace --udp 1.0.0.1
nexttrace --udp --port 53 1.0.0.1NextTrace also supports some advanced functions, such as ttl control, concurrent probe packet count control, mode switching, etc.
# Send 2 probe packets per hop
nexttrace --queries 2 www.hkix.net
# No concurrent probe packets, only one probe packet is sent at a time
nexttrace --parallel-requests 1 www.hkix.net
# Start Trace with TTL of 5, end at TTL of 10
nexttrace --first 5 --max-hops 10 www.decix.net
# Turn off the IP reverse parsing function
nexttrace --no-rdns www.bbix.net
# Set the payload size to 1024 bytes
nexttrace --psize 1024 example.com

nexttrace --route-path www.time.com.myNextTrace supports users to select their own IP API (currently supports: LeoMoeAPI, IP.SB, IPInfo, IPInsight, IPAPI.com, Ip2region, IPInfoLocal, CHUNZHEN)
# You can specify the IP database by yourself [IP-API.com here], if not specified, LeoMoeAPI will be used
nexttrace --data-provider ip-api.com
## Note There are frequency limits for free queries of the ipinfo and IPInsight APIs. You can purchase services from these providers to remove the limits
## If necessary, you can clone this project, add the token provided by ipinfo or IPInsight and compile it yourself
## Note For the offline database IPInfoLocal, please download it manually and rename it to ipinfoLocal.mmdb. (You can download it from here: https://ipinfo.io/signup?ref=free-database-downloads)
## For the offline database Ip2region, you can download it manually and rename it to ip2region.db, or let NextTrace download it automatically
## Fill the token to: ipgeo/tokens.go
## Please be aware: Due to the serious abuse of IP.SB, you will often be not able to query IP data from this source
## IP-API.com has a stricter restiction on API calls, if you can't query IP data from this source, please try again in a few minutes
# The Pure-FTPd IP database defaults to using http://127.0.0.1:2060 as the query interface. To customize it, please use environment variables
export NEXTTRACE_CHUNZHENURL=http://127.0.0.1:2060
## You can use https://github.com/freshcn/qqwry to build your own Pure-FTPd IP database service
# You can also specify the default IP database by setting an environment variable
export NEXTTRACE_DATAPROVIDER=ipinfoNextTrace supports mixed parameters and shortened parameters
Example:
nexttrace --data-provider IPAPI.com --max-hops 20 --tcp --port 443 --queries 5 --no-rdns 1.1.1.1
nexttrace -tcp --queries 2 --parallel-requests 1 --table --route-path 2001:4860:4860::8888
Equivalent to:
nexttrace -d IPAPI.com -m 20 -T -p 443 -q 5 -n 1.1.1.1
nexttrace -T -q 2 --parallel-requests 1 -t -R 2001:4860:4860::8888We use bgp.tools as a data provider for routing tables.
NextTrace BackEnd is now open-source.

NextTrace Enhanced is an enhanced version for enthusiasts, Enhanced provides trace route calls in the form of Web API and a simple Looking Glass webpage with built-in visualization.
Please Notice that NextTrace Enhanced is currently not supported in English.
https://github.com/OwO-Network/nexttrace-enhanced
NextTrace focuses on Golang Traceroute implementations, and its LeoMoeAPI geolocation information is not supported by raw data, so a commercial version is not possible.
The LeoMoeAPI data is subject to copyright restrictions from multiple data sources, and is only used for the purpose of displaying the geolocation of route tracing.
-
We would like to credit samleong123 for providing nodes in Malaysia, TOHUNET Looking Glass for global nodes, and Ping.sx from Misaka, where more than 80% of reliable calibration data comes from ping/mtr reports.
-
At the same time, we would like to credit isyekong for their contribution on rDNS-based calibration ideas and data. LeoMoeAPI is accelerating the development of rDNS resolution function, and has already achieved automated geolocation resolution for some backbone networks, but there are some misjudgments. We hope that NextTrace will become a One-Man ISP-friendly traceroute tool in the future, and we are working on improving the calibration of these ASN micro-backbones as much as possible.
-
In terms of development, I would like to credit missuo and zhshch for their help with Go cross-compilation, design concepts and TCP/UDP Traceroute refactoring, and tsosunchia for their support on TraceMap.
-
I would also like to credit FFEE_CO, TheresaQWQ, stydxm and others for their help. leoMoeAPI has received a lot of support since its first release, so I would like to credit them all!
We hope you can give us as much feedback as possible on IP geolocation errors (see issue) so that it can be calibrated in the first place and others can benefit from it.
