Is there a traceroute equivalent in the VoIP world? I would like to see the route a call takes after it gets to the gateway. Basically showing all the hops until it reaches it's destination or PSTN termination. -Dave
RFC 3261 has previsions for traceroute using the Max-Forwards header. Here is a tool that can take advantage of this feature. http://sipsak.berlios.de/ On Wed, 2004-03-17 at 07:47, David Zuzga wrote:> Is there a traceroute equivalent in the VoIP world?

It says nothing about the path that the audio data itself takes. -- /~\ The ASCII Ribbon Campaign \ / No HTML/RTF in email X No Word docs in email / \ Respect for open standards
For SIP, we developed SIPSak http://sipsak.berlios.de/. (BTW -- not all SIP servers show their IP addresses in Warning header field, so the output is not always as talkative as it should be). -jiri At 05:47 PM 3/17/2004, David Zuzga wrote:>Is there a traceroute equivalent in the VoIP world?
