This diagnostic tool makes Ping routines both more effective and more entertaining. Navigating the world map is quite easy, as is choosing a map with another design. VisualRoute generates complete Ping and Whois information with time graphs, which administrators can export to text or HTML reports, or to a JPEG screenshot.

Happily, the program consumes much less system memory than it did in the past and doesn t appear to affect performance in any way. The map's route tracing can be fascinating, and the results table offers a wealth of information everywhere you click. The program also can monitor response time.

You can even run VisualRoute as a Web server and embed it in your pages. For less experienced users, the analysis section explains in plain English what's going wrong in the trace. In short, this program seems like a good pick for any Webmaster.

Developer's Description

By Visualware
Analyze Internet connection problems and locate IPs.

VisualRoute combines the tools traceroute, ping, reverse DNS, and Whois into a single graphical interface that analyzes Internet connections to quickly locate where outages or slowdowns occur. An IP location database identifies the geographical location of IP addresses and Web servers, showing the path of an Internet connection on a global map. Domain registration and network provider contact information are reported for each network hop. The ping capabilities provide a good idea of whether or not the site is live, while traceroute will help determine where along the route the problem lies. VisualRoute's traceroute reports include an overall analysis, a data table, and a geographical view of the routing. The analysis is a brief description of the number of hops, where problems occurred, and the type of Web server software running at the site you are trying to reach. The data table lists information for each hop, including the IP address, node name, geographical location and the major Internet backbone where each server resides. The World map gives a graphical representation of the actual path of an Internet connection. A mouse click on a server or network name opens a pop-up Whois window, providing instant contact information for problem reporting. Specialized editions include added tools for pinpointing connectivity problems, including continuous trace and ping testing, trace report history, multiple path discovery and port probing.
