# Catchpoint traceroute

## Introduction

This is an enhanced version of Dmitry Butskoy traceroute developed by Catchpoint.
There are a number of improvements. The main ones are enumerated here:
* Support for "TCP InSession" method. This method opens a TCP connection with
the destination and sends TCP probes within the opened session with incremental
TTL. The aim is to prevent false packet loss introduced by firewall and
router configurations related to security and to ensures that packets follow a
single flow, akin to a normal TCP session, to bypass load-balanced routers.
- Introduced enhanced TOS (DSCP/ECN) field report. This new option allows to set
ToS field in outgoing packets and read the ToS field of the expiring probes. It
includes a special output to highlight DSCP and ECN values

Full details in ChangeLog [here](https://github.com/catchpoint/Networking.traceroute/blob/develop/ChangeLog).
