The software is available to students who are taking Cisco Network Academy courses, which Cisco has cited as having over 800,000 students (and has also cited as having over 700,000 students). Although the software may have restricted distribution, this proprietary software is therefore notable. Presumably it is up to a class instructor to ...
MTR is licensed under the terms of the GNU General Public License (GPL) and works under modern Unix-like operating systems.

Often the route a packet needs to take through a network is not immediately available. In that case, the packet is queued and waits until a link is free. The physical link technologies of packet networks typically limit the size of packets to a certain maximum transmission unit (MTU). A longer message may be fragmented before it is transferred ...
Wireshark is very similar to tcpdump, but has a graphical front-end and integrated sorting and filtering options.. Wireshark lets the user put network interface controllers into promiscuous mode (if supported by the network interface controller), so they can see all the traffic visible on that interface including unicast traffic not sent to that network interface controller's MAC address.

In telecommunications, packet switching is a method of grouping data into short messages in fixed format, i.e. packets, that are transmitted over a digital network. Packets are made of a header and a payload. Data in the header is used by networking hardware to direct the packet to its destination, where the payload is extracted and used by an ...
