rich-traceroute.io
Frequently Asked Questions
Just a tool to enrich the output of traceroutes.
You can paste the output of your traceroute command, and it enriches it with additional information, like the origin ASNs of the IPs and the name of any Internet Exchange peering LAN that shows up in the path.
Also, it produces a normalised plain-text output that contains all the information above.
The enriched output can then be shared with others using the unique URL that identifies it. (Persistency of the data is not guaranteed and traceroutes expire after few days. See the F.A.Q. below.)
It's Free Open Source Software, contributions are welcome!
Also, the rich-tracereoute.io website is maintained in best effort mode, with no guarantees of uptime. If you like it, feel free to make a donation to help me pay the bill ;-)
The following formats are supported:
- BSD-like traceroute format
- IOS-XR
- Junos
- Linux-like traceroute format
- MTR (interactive)
- MTR (report mode)
- MTR JSON
- WinMTR
- Windows tracert
- Other formats

There is not an official guaranteed period of time. The traceroutes enriched using this tool can be deleted at any time for any reason. Do not rely on their availability.
To enrich the traceroutes some external resources are queried. The tool uses RIPEstat to gather information about the origin ASN of the IP addresses. PeeringDB is used to build a mapping of the prefixes used on the Internet Exchange peering LANs, to understand when the input represents a path that crosses an IXP. Simple DNS queries are used to perform reverse DNS resolution of the hosts.
The tool and the web service are offered in best-effort, just to make it easier the interpretation of the paths represented by the traceroutes provided as the input.
Accuracy of the information is based on external resources which are not monitored by the author of the software nor by the operator of this web site. No guarantees are provided for their accuracy.
Traceroutes that contain hostnames might be less accurate than traceroutes having IP addresses: to obtain information for a given host a name resolution must be performed to obtain the IP address, and in certain circumnstances the IP address resolved by the tool may not be the one actually traversed by the packets that generated the traceroute itself.
Several studies have been done about the accuracy of traceroutes and IP-to-ASNs mapping: some links are provided here, to let the user of this tool to build their own understanding:
