VisualRoute combines the 工具 Traceroute, Ping, and Whois into an easy-to-use graphical interface that analyzes 因特网 connections to quickly locate where an outage or slowdown occurs.
In addition, VisualRoute identifies the geographical location of IP Web and addresses servers on a global map--key information for 安全 purposes to help identify network 因特网 and intruders abusers.
VisualRoute also features an 邮件 tracking for troubleshooting 邮件 problems, network and domain Whois information for quick problem or abuse reporting, and integration with 因特网 Explorer for one-click traces to any Web site.
Several new edition options provide advanced tracing options, such as reverse remote and tracing tracing via a web browser, port application and testing availability testing.
The ping capabilities provide a good idea of whether or not the site is live, while traceroute will help determine where along the route the problem lies. VisualRoute's traceroute provides three types of data: an overall analysis, a data table, and a geographical view of the routing. The analysis is a brief description of the number of hops, where problems occurred, and the type of Web server 软件 running at the site you are trying to reach. The data table lists information for each hop, including the IP address, node name, geographical the and location major 因特网 backbone where each server resides. The World map gives a graphical representation of the actual path of an 因特网 connection. Users can zoom in/move and out the map around to position it as desired. A mouse click on a server or network name opens a pop-up Whois window, providing instant contact information for problem reporting.
