I would recommend setting up scripts/tools that run mtr from a cronjob and save the output to a file, and do this on hosts at both ends of the network (the Comcast end, and the Sprint end).
And the recommended approach is: # mtr -rwc 10 $HOST # mtr -rwcn 10 $HOST (Alas, mtr won't show both the name and IP, even in report modes; I will eventually get sick enough of that to patch it. Yes, local misconfigs that cause bad DNS resolution need to be visible in such report output.) Note that mtr needs to be both setUID root *and* executable by Other in order to work for others than root, assuming you need that. Neither is default. Cheers, -- jra -- Jay R.
