About LFT
Layer Four Traceroute (LFT) traces network paths over IPv4 and IPv6 using different probe methods, including TCP, UDP and ICMP. It can report path MTU and enumerate equal-cost multipath routes.
The project also includes WhoB, a command-line tool that annotates IP addresses with routing and network information.
