[Linux] C Shell (csh) mtr Uso: Combina traceroute y ping

Overview

The mtr command, short for “My Traceroute,” is a network diagnostic tool that combines the functionalities of the ping and traceroute commands. It provides real-time analysis of the route packets take to a network host, helping users identify network issues and latency.

Usage

The basic syntax of the mtr command is as follows:

mtr [options] [hostname]

Common Options

-r: Run in report mode, which provides a summary of the results.
-c <count>: Set the number of pings to send.
-i <interval>: Specify the interval between pings in seconds.
-p: Show the port number in the output.
-n: Show numerical addresses instead of resolving hostnames.

Common Examples

Here are some practical examples of using the mtr command:

Basic usage to check a host:
```
mtr example.com
```
Run in report mode for a summary:
```
mtr -r example.com
```
Send a specific number of pings:
```
mtr -c 10 example.com
```
Set a custom interval between pings:
```
mtr -i 2 example.com
```
Display numerical addresses only:
```
mtr -n example.com
```

Tips

Use mtr with the -r option for a quick summary of the network path without continuous output.
Combine the -c option with -r to limit the number of pings and get a concise report.
If you are troubleshooting a slow connection, consider using the -i option to adjust the interval for more detailed analysis.
