WinMTR is a free network diagnostic tool for Windows integrated with Ping and tracert features. Its graphical interface allows you to intuitively see the response time and packet loss of each node.
Installing WinMTR
1. Log in to the Windows CVM.
2. On the operating system interface, visit the official website (or other valid channels) through the browser to download the WinMTR installer package corresponding to your operating system.
3. Unzip the WinMTR installer package.
Using WinMTR
1. Double-click WinMTR.exe to open WinMTR tool.
2. Enter the IP or domain name of the host in the Host field. Then click Start as shown below:
3. Wait for WinMTR to run for a while and click Stop to stop the test as shown below:
Key information of the test result is as shown below: Hostname: IP or name of each host passed through on the path to the destination server.
Nr: Number of nodes that have been passed through.
Loss%: Packet loss of each node.
Sent: Number of data packets sent.
Recv: Number of responses received.
Best: Shortest response time.
Avrg: Average response time.
Worst: Longest response time.
Last: Last response time.
MTR is a network diagnostic tool for Linux integrated with Ping, traceroute and nslookup features. ICMP packets are used by default to test the network connection between two nodes.
Installing MTR Installation
Currently, all released versions of Linux have MTR preinstalled. If not, you can install MTR using the following command:
CentOS:
Ubuntu:
MTR Parameters
-h/--help: Displays help menu.
-v/--version: Displays MTR version information.
-r/--report: Outputs the result in a report.
-p/--split: Different from --report, -p/--split lists the result of each trace separately.
-c/--report-cycles: Sets the number of data packets sent per second. Default is 10.
-s/--psize: Sets the size of each data packet.
-n/--no-dns: Disables domain name resolution for IP address.
-a/--address: Sets the IP address from which data packets are sent. It is mainly used for scenarios with a single host and multiple IP addresses.
-4: IPv4
-6: IPv6
Sample code
Take a local machine to server (IP: 119.28.98.39) as an example.
Execute the following command to output the diagnostic result of MTR in a report.
mtr 119.28.98.39 --report
Information similar to the following is returned:

The main output information is as follows
Host: IP address or domain name of a node.
Loss%: Packet loss.
Snt: Number of data packets sent per second.
Last: Last response time.
Avg: Average response time.
Best: Shortest response time.
Wrst: Longest response time.
StDev: Standard deviation. A higher standard deviation indicates a larger difference in the response time of data packets at this node.
