A tool for building graphical depictions of traceroutes from many source locations to a single destination. This tool uses RIPE Atlas formatted data to fold a multititude of traceroutes from many starting locations around the world (for example Atlas Probes) into a tree structure with the traceroute destination at the tree root and the starting points at the leaves. The nodes in the middle are the IP routers where the packet stops.
git clone git://github.com/cjdelisle/treetracert.git
cd treetracert
npm install
node ./server.js
### Open your favorite browser to http://127.0.0.1:8080/ and see the result
- Starting points are in orange, the destination is red and the intermediate routers are blue.
- Clicking on a starting point will print the traceroute in the side of the screen.
- Local routers (192.168.0.0/16, 10.0.0.0/8 etc.) are omitted from the graph but will still show in the traces.
- This is a hackathon project, there are bugs.
This is by default running set of traceroutes to cloudflare anycast DNS nodes from RIPE Atlas
probes in New Zealand. To run it with different data, just change the content of the file
source_data.json. Here is the command which got that data.
wget -4 'https://atlas.ripe.net/api/v1/measurement/1850590/result/?start=1422662400&stop=1422748799&format=json' -O ./www/source_data.json
