How to use Mudfish MTR

Mudfish MTR is a built-in tool to perform Matt's Traceroute Feature. And it's found under "Advanced -> Matt's Traceroute" menu of Mudfish Launcher.

How to use

For details, please check Matt's Traceroute Feature link.

  • Please input the address (IP or hostname) which you'd like to test at Host textarea. Then press Enter key to start.
  • When it started, every second it'll try to discover routers and test the discovered routers. It measures the following things:
    • How many tests to each router.
    • About the packet loss rate.
    • RTT min, avg, max, stddev.
  • Please keep it running at least 1 minute (60 seconds)

How to read

  • You should focus on the rate of packet loss. If the packet loss rate of a specific host is 100%, please ignore it because it's not meaningful. Normally it's caused by that the router doesn't respond at all.
  • If the rate of packet loss is between 1 % and 99 %, you should check which hop is in trouble.
