TraceRate is a LINUX implementation of the hop by hop path rate estimation method. This tool is split into two modules. The first one is the measurement module, which sends many times a back-to-back packet pair and gather the dispersion measurements. The second module does the distribution analysis. The measures are done for each value of TTL between source and destination in order to investigate the whole path. By default, 500 packet pairs are sent for each loop with 1400 bytes. The tool is immunized from ICMP and UDP packets limitation, firewalls filtering. This tool is an adaptation of the well-known traceroute which sends TCP packets instead of ICMP packets.
