Exhaustive path tracing with Paris traceroute

ABSTRACT

Traceroute [2] is used to learn the path between two machines in the internet. Uses range from the diagnosis of network problems to the assemblage of internet maps. Unfortunately, traceroute measurements can be inaccurate and incomplete when the measured route traverses a load balancer.
