VisualRoute displays a zoomable global map in one window and a table of columns (containing the route trace data) in another. VisualRoute also should have an option to integrate with Web servers (such as those from Microsoft, Netscape and Apache), e-mail servers and other Internet accessible servers to show, in real time and without having to type each URL, the location of a site's users. MTU values indicate the sizes of the data pipes and thus let you gauge the degree to which packet fragmentation/defragmentation will occur in a data path. The application would be more useful if it obtained and displayed Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) values from the devices it pings. Security options provides restricted access for specific clients. Another feature is the VisualRoute Server, which is a Web server that lets users view VisualRoute statistics from their own client computers.

Ping Grapher displays a line graph resulting from a series of pings of a specific URL or IP address. The E-mail Tracker application geographically locates an e-mail's sender. It told us, for example, whether POP3, FTP, Simple Mail Transfer Protocol or DNS services were running on a particular server. We'd prefer that VisualRoute draw a question mark instead of an endpoint when it finds the destination location information is missing or doesn't correspond exactly to the destination IP address.įor more intensive diagnosis of network ills, VisualRoute can look for other open ports besides Port 80 (HTTP). It's actually in Egypt, but the ISP appears to have offices in the Netherlands (see graphic, below). VisualRoute traced it to Egypt and beyond - to the Netherlands. In one case, the program got confused over the location of (a government-controlled Egyptian newspaper in Egypt). However, it didn't know that the router is in Mississippi. For example, it correctly noted that (The Times of Central Asia newspaper) is in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan. VisualRoute's location data was correct slightly more than 75% of the time for domestic sites, and about 50% correct for overseas sites. It is an FTP server." VisualRoute's graph of response times and informative analysis messages make it a better route tracer than the ubiquitous command-line utility. While tracing a path, the tool dynamically listed the hops' identities and response times, showed a percent completed progress indicator and displayed messages such as "Analysis: VisualRoute can connect to '', but had problems tracing the route. VisualRoute's traceroute data accurately and graphically depicted the routers, switches and other pingable connection points between our source node and any remote site we specified. It also includes E-mail Tracker, Ping Grapher and VisualRoute Server features. It told us, for example, whether POP3, FTP, SMTP or DNS services were running on a particular server. For more intensive diagnosis of network ills, VisualRoute can look for other open ports besides Port 80 (HTTP).
#Visualrout install#
The install process put some Win32 Dynamic Link Libraries on our hard drive and inserted several entries in our Windows registry, implying that VisualRoute's architecture, despite its "write once, run anywhere" Java underpinnings, relies to some extent on operating system-specific helper software and might run differently on a non-Windows machine.
#Visualrout mac os#
VisualRoute is Java-based software that installs on Windows, Mac OS X, Solaris and Linux platforms.
