stops after ICMP redirect #2

Open monolied opened 9 years ago

monolied commented 9 years ago

tracetcp, alas, ends after it receives an icmp redirect. (tracert and tcptracroute follow that redirect and give results).

I know I can work around that using -g, but that leaves me with the task of finding out where the hell the redirection went to.

So this would be the feature request:

follow icmp redirects
if not possible, give more info about target of redirect

Best regards, m.

Hi, ICMP redirects have been on my todo list for a while, you are the first person to ask about them in over ten years :-)

I'll take a look at supporting them.

Uh, sorry for having interrupted that blissful state :) I was probably naive thinking the tcp stack might handle that almost on its own. Yeah, would be a nice feature.

Have had the same problem occur - will it be possible to address this issue?
