[01:22] <akk> Anybody know of a visual traceroute, either to run locally on ubuntu or online?
[01:23] <akk> I've found several online ones, but they all run from somewhere nowhere near here.
[01:25] <akk> I'm writing a talk for nongeeks on how web browsers work, and I want to give them a way of playing with routing.
[01:43] <bkerensa> hmm I only use mtr these days
[01:44] <akk> Sorry, should have specified, by "visual" I mean a map, not just a window wrapped around the cmdline output.
[01:44] <akk> Apparently there used to be something called xtraceroute, but it's orphaned and has been dropped from the repos.
[01:45] <akk> (and is only available through dodgy download sites, the original home site is gone)
[01:46] <akk> I've found some python code that wraps traceroute and generates IPs, and I'm looking into whether python-mpltoolkits.basemap can plot them for me.
[01:46] <akk> I'm pretty surprised that there seems to be no existing solution, though.
[01:49] <akk> (oh, grr, the python code doesn't have an open-source license, either, though it's on github)
