Multipath traceroute (mtraceroute) is based on and implements similar functionality to Paris traceroute. It keeps the flow identifier of probe packets fixed to avoid triggering traffic load balancing in Internet routes whenever possible. Moreover, mtraceroute implements the Multipath Detection Algorithm, which identifies routers that perform load balancing on the route from a source to a destination. mtraceroute systematically varies probe packets’ headers to classify load balancing behavior.
