Paris Traceroute

Paris Traceroute collects paris-traceroute traces for every TCP connection used by the measurement tools running on the M-Lab platform. In addition to the existing route and topology data provided by regular traceroute, Paris Traceroute detects load balancing, noting when a transmission is split between two pathes. Like Sidestream, Paris Traceroute runs when another M-Lab tool makes a TCP connection with the platform.

Data collected by paris-traceroute is available…

• in raw format at https://storage.cloud.google.com/m-lab/paris-traceroute
• via an SQL interface (see https://github.com/m-lab/mlab-wikis/blob/master/BigQueryMLabDataset.md).
