WhatRoute 1.7 is a Macintosh implementation of the UNIX application,
traceroute.

> What does WhatRoute Do?
>
> Trace Internet Paths
>  The program is designed to find the names of all the routers
> through which an IP packet passes on the way from your Macintosh to
> the destination host. It can display these paths in tree form, or on
> a map of the world. In addition it measures the round-trip time from
> your Macintosh to the router thus enabling you to determine slow
> links (hops) in the Internet. It can also find dead links - ie
> routers that don't respond etc etc. If you have access to a UNIX
> machine you should read the man page that accompanies 'traceroute'.
>
> PING Remote Hosts
>  WhatRoute will Ping remote hosts. In this function a small packet
> is sent to a remote host and then the time taken for a reply to be
> received is recorded.
>
> DNS Query
>  The DNS Query function is borrowed from the BIND software. The
> results of DNS Query show all the DNS Resource Records associated
> with an Internet host or domain. The explanation of this stuff is
> the beyond the scope of this document and for further information, I
> recommend the O'Reilly book, DNS and BIND.
>
> Monitor
>  WhatRoute includes a port of the UNIX tcpdump command to monitor
> activity on a LAN. This function only works if your Macintosh is on
> an ethernet LAN
>
> Finger
>  WhatRoute includes a Finger client. This enables you to find
> information about users logged in to other hosts, providing that
> host is running a Finger server. A lot of system administrators
> consider this to be a security risk, so you may not find this
> command to be particularly useful.
>
> Whois
>  This command enables you to find out about people, networks etc who
> are registered in the InterNic database.
>
> Address Scan
>  You can scan a network to find all hosts that respond to a PING
> command
>
> TELNET Server
>  WhatRoute can be configured as a TELNET server. This enables you to
> log into your Macintosh from a remote machine and execute
> traceroute, ping and dnsquery commands.
>
> WhatRoute and Internet Config
>  If you have Internet Config installed, you can make WhatRoute a
>  helper application for URLs with the format
>
> traceroute://a.b.c/
>
