itrace - similar to traceroute, yet uses ICMP echo

       This manual page was written by Vince Mulhollon <vlm@debian.org>, for the Debian  GNU/Linux  system  (but
       may be used by others).

                                                January 13, 2003                                       ITRACE(1)

       This  manual  page  documents  briefly  the  itrace command.  This manual page was written for the Debian
       distribution because the original program does not have a manual page.

       Itrace is a program that implements traceroute(1) functionality using ICMP echo request packets.

       Therefore, it looks like you are just pinging your target while you traceroute there.

       It often helps tracing behind firewalls.

       Typical Usage:

       itrace -i eth0 -d www.phenoelit.de

       -v              verbose

       -n              reverse lookup answering IPs (slow!)

       -p x            send x probes per hop (default=3)

       -m x            set TTL max to x (default=30)

       -t x            timeout after x seconds (default=3)

       -i interface    the normal eth0 stuff

       -d destination  Name or IP of destination
