Global Traceroute allows measurements from almost any network in the world. It enables quick and easy traceroutes, pings, and DNS lookups from many of the world's major end user ISPs by using RIPE Atlas probes.
Global Traceroute began by solving a long-running problem in network operations: making inbound path visibility easier to access when troubleshooting Internet routing and reachability issues.
Global Traceroute was created and stewarded by Steve Gibbard at Link Level Consulting LLC. It is now operated by Drydock Labs and built and deployed with Millwright.
Global Traceroute has no affiliation with the RIPE NCC. It uses RIPE Atlas infrastructure to request measurements from participating probes around the world.
