  • mturoute – Free utility to find the MTU Value to a host or IP Address

    One of the most important thing that is ignored most of the time while troubleshooting a network problem to a host or a network is checking the MTU related issue. This makes more sense in situations like troubleshooting VPN related issues.

    MTUROUTE is a small but smart utility that uses ICMP pings of various sizes in order to determine the MTU values (Maximum Transmission Unit) on the path between itself and the target system. MTUROUTE can operate in normal mode where it sends multiple ICMP packets to each hop on the path to identify the smallest MTU between the host and hop or in a Traceroute mode where it will attempt to determine the lowest MTU between the local host and each hop in the communication.

    It is important to note that care has to be taken as it generates muti fold ICMP traffic as it tries to determine the MTU Values.

  • pathping – Ping and Traceroute at once in Windows

    The PathPing tool is a route tracing tool that combines features of Ping and Tracert with additional information that neither of those tools provides. PathPing sends packets to each router on the way to a final destination over a period of time, and then computes results based on the packets returned from each hop. Since PathPing shows the degree of packet loss at any given router or link, you can pinpoint which routers or links might be causing network problems. (more…)
