Description

HiPerConTracer is an advanced Ping/Traceroute service. It performs regular Ping and Traceroute measurements over IPv4 and IPv6 among sites. Results are exported into an SQL database. Analysis scripts can then access this data for research on network connectivity and resilience, as well as for visualising the connectivity within the Internet.
