Paris Traceroute

Paris Traceroute was used by M-Lab to collect network path information for every connection used by the measurement tests running on the M-Lab platform until the fourth quarter of 2019 (Q42019). At that time, M-Lab replaced Paris-traceroute with the Scamper traceroute tool provided by the Center for Applied Internet Data Analysis, CAIDA. In addition to the route and network topology data provided by regular traceroute, Paris Traceroute detected load balancing, noting when a transmission was split between two paths.
