MTR command details

In Windows, Ping and tracert are used to determine network connectivity. If Ping is used, packet loss rate can be determined. tracert can be used to track routes. in Linux, there is a better network connectivity judgment tool, it can be used with Ping NSLookup tracert to determine network-related features. This command is MTR.

Report description:
Column 1: displays the IP address and the local domain name, which is similar to tracert.
Column 2: snt: 10 sets the number of data packets sent per second. The default value is 10, which can be specified through the-C parameter.

-C indicates-Report-cycles count.

• Column 3: displays the packet loss rate of each corresponding IP address.
• Column 4: display the latest return latency
• Column 5: average value. This should be the average latency of the ping packet sent.
• Column 6: the best or the lowest latency
• Column 7: The worst or the most frequent latency
• Column 8: Standard Deviation

Next we will talk about the relevant parameters:

1. MTR-S is used to specify the ping packet size.
2. MTR-n no-DNS does not perform domain name resolution for IP addresses
3. MTR-A is used to set the IP address for sending data packets. This is useful for a host with multiple IP addresses.
4. MTR-I uses this parameter to set the requirements between ICMP return requests. The default value is 1 second.
5. MTR-4 IPv4
6. MTR-6 IPv6
