tracert

Cross-platform library for traceroute and ping. Written in Rust. tokio-based asynchronous probing is supported for all features.

Features

• traceroute
  • IPv4 ICMP
  • IPv6 ICMP
  • IPv4 UDP
  • IPv6 UDP
• ping
  • IPv4 ICMPv4
  • IPv6 ICMPv6
  • IPv4 UDP
  • IPv6 UDP
  • IPv4 TCP
  • IPv6 TCP

Usage

Add tracert to your dependencies

[dependencies]
tracert = "0.10"

Examples

• examples/icmp_ping.rs
• examples/icmp_trace.rs
• examples/tcp_ping.rs
• examples/udp_ping.rs
• examples/udp_trace.rs
• examples/parallel_trace.rs

Note for Windows users

You may need to set up firewall rules that allow ICMP Time-to-live Exceeded and ICMP Destination (Port) Unreachable packets to be received.

netsh example

netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="All ICMP v4" dir=in action=allow protocol=icmpv4:any,any
netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="All ICMP v6" dir=in action=allow protocol=icmpv6:any,any

Additional Notes

This library may require the ability to create raw sockets depending on the operating system.

• Linux: root privileges or CAP_NET_RAW capability are typically required.
• macOS / Windows: Administrator privileges are usually not required for standard traceroute operations.

If you encounter permission errors, try running with elevated privileges.
