The visual trace route tool displays the path Internet packets traverse to reach a specified destination. VisualRoute Lite is a lightweight application built specifically for helping you perform traceroute testing operations in order to detect connectivity problems.
Visualware says its VisualRoute software graphically displays traceroute network path information, including destination and intermediate hop locations on a zoomable world map that tells you precisely where and how traffic is flowing between two Internet nodes.
Knowing the locations of IP addresses that access your Web servers, send you e-mail or try to steal your company's confidential data can be helpful. Ideer blu-ray player registration code.

Visualware says its VisualRoute software graphically displays traceroute network path information, including destination and intermediate hop locations on a zoomable world map that tells you precisely where and how traffic is flowing between two Internet nodes. The company says its highly visual network path analysis can help network managers more easily and productively troubleshoot network connectivity problems.

How we did itVisualRoute 8.0a (the company recently released Version 8.0b) showed that the software is better than a typical command-line traceroute utility. VisualRoute graphs hop-to-hop time intervals to help identify network bottlenecks, and its Internet Control Messaging Protocol-based network path information is accurate and runs on several platforms. However, its location information was often incorrect or missing, the user interface was sluggish, its error messages were cryptic, and it has some glaring bugs. We also wished VisualRoute could integrate with our Web servers to show where site visitors were located instead of having us enter each URL or address one at a time (see 'How we did it').
Tracing our steps
VisualRoute is Java-based software that installs on Windows, Mac OS X, Solaris and Linux platforms. 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. For more intensive diagnosis of network ills, VisualRoute can look for other open ports besides Port 80 (HTTP). It told us, for example, whether POP3, FTP, SMTP or DNS services were running on a particular server. It also includes E-mail Tracker, Ping Grapher and VisualRoute Server features.
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. 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 'ftp.microsoft.com', but had problems tracing the route. 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.
VisualRoute's location data was correct slightly more than 75% of the time for domestic sites, and about 50% correct for overseas sites. For example, it correctly noted that www.times.kg (The Times of Central Asia newspaper) is in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan. However, it didn't know that the axr00msy-7-0-0-1.bellsouth.net router is in Mississippi. In one case, the program got confused over the location of www.ahram.org.eg (a government-controlled Egyptian newspaper in Egypt). VisualRoute traced it to Egypt and beyond - to the Netherlands. It's actually in Egypt, but the ISP appears to have offices in the Netherlands (see graphic, below). 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.
For more intensive diagnosis of network ills, VisualRoute can look for other open ports besides Port 80 (HTTP). It told us, for example, whether POP3, FTP, Simple Mail Transfer Protocol or DNS services were running on a particular server.
The E-mail Tracker application geographically locates an e-mail's sender. Ping Grapher displays a line graph resulting from a series of pings of a specific URL or IP address. Another feature is the VisualRoute Server, which is a Web server that lets users view VisualRoute statistics from their own client computers. Security options provides restricted access for specific clients.
The application would be more useful if it obtained and displayed Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) values from the devices it pings. 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. 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.
Ease of use
VisualRoute displays a zoomable global map in one window and a table of columns (containing the route trace data) in another. For each hop, the columns show IP address, node name, location, time zone, response time (in milliseconds), a vertical line graph of response time and the name of the network that owns the hop. The columns update dynamically during each tracing operation, and VisualRoute takes no more time to perform a trace than the command-line traceroute utility.
However, the user interface was slightly sluggish, especially when we viewed or dismissed the Preferences window, and also when we zoomed in or out of the map.
You can position the map above or below the trace table, and you can eliminate the table or map view. A mouse drag can resize columns, and you also can hide specific columns. For any hop or site you click on, VisualRoute performs a Whois lookup and displays the response. As with the VisualRoute location data, the Whois information is only as accurate as the data entered by the site's or link's network administrator.

The friendly traceroute interface is only skin-deep in places. When we told its Web server component to use Port 80, which we knew was already in use, VisualRoute complained with a pop-up Java programming error message: 'java.net.BindException: Address in use (Port=80) (Port=80 maxusers=5 sockets=1).' VisualRoute also leaves the previous traceroute path on the global map while it updates the table columns with information from the current tracing effort. Only when the tracing effort finishes will it erase the previous path and draw the next one. We also noticed that it got confused about which table entry our mouse cursor was pointing to when we clicked an entry to run the Whois lookup or when we used VisualRoute's pop-up URL history selection list box. We had to click on entry three, for example, to get information for entry six.
Installation was straightforward. The documentation consists of Adobe Acrobat PDF files. The help menu entries take you to Visualware's support Web site, let you provide product feedback, take you to the VisualRoute home page, let you read some VisualRoute frequently asked questions, explain how to purchase the product (for trial users), let you sign up for the VisualRoute newsletter and display the product's version information. There are no tutorials or reference explanations for using VisualRoute.
The application certainly reveals more information than the command-line traceroute utility. The response time graphs are useful, and the global map location information (when accurate) can show you exactly where your data is flowing to or from. While the location information is bound to become more accurate over time, currently it isn't very reliable.
