Replace x.x.x.x with the IP address you want to run the MTR to.
#MTR TRACEROUTE INSTALL#
To install it on Ubuntu, please open a terminal and type:Īfter it is installed, open a terminal and run the “ mtr -n x.x.x.x” command (without quotes) to get a running MTR, or for a static output with 100 packets: “ mtr -T -n -r -c 100 -o SDLBAWMXI x.x.x.x”. On a Windows PC or server, you can download the application WinMTR ( ).Īt least 100 packets are required and Resolve names must be turned off in the Options menu. To create the MTR with at least 100 packets We ask for the following two options to be used when running the command: If you do not know the IP address of your PC, you can visit to find your local IP address. MTR does not require installation or system admin rights. Matts Traceroute (MTR) is a powerful, cross-platform network diagnostic tool that combines ping and traceroute functionalities. MTR is run on a computer to provide detailed hop test data (a series of brief measurements). The MTR command should be run on the server and on your local computer. MTR (My Traceroute, and originally called Matts Traceroute) is a Linux/Unix utility that combines Ping and Traceroute functions into one easy-to-use program. The main advantage of MTR is that it will show you the packet loss per hop, which allows you to determine if there is a problem along the route the traffic takes, or only on the final hop to the server itself. MTR is different from traceroute as it combines the information of traceroute and ping. As we need both routes to determine the delay, we request for bidirectional MTR.

It diagnoses and isolates networking errors. RapidSeedbox support may ask you for a bidirectional MTR test if you experience issues with the network.Īn MTR is a way to track network packages that travel from one location to another displaying where it passes and the possible origin of a delay.
