Severity: wishlist

Description : Trace the route to a destination using a protocol and port

Traceproto is a replacement for the venerable traceroute. It serves the same function, to determine the path that traffic takes between the current location and a remote machine. Like the original traceroute it uses the IP time-to-live field and watches for the return ICMP packets from each successive gateway. Traceproto improves on the original by letting the user select the protocol and destination port to trace to. In the current world of firewalls and traffic filtering it is no longer enough to assume that if some traffic is getting to the remote machine that it all is.
