Scamper
Like its predecessor skitter, scamper is a tool that actively probes the 
Internet in order to analyze topology and performance. Unlike skitter, scamper 
supports both IPv6 and IPv4 probing. In addition, scamper supports the 
well-known ping and traceroute techniques, as well as Paris and MDA traceroute, 
radargun, ally, mercator, sting, speedtrap, and parts of tbit. Scamper is the 
prober deployed in CAIDA's Macroscopic Topology Project. Scamper's developer is 
Matthew Luckie.
Overview

Scamper is designed to actively probe destinations in the Internet in parallel 
(at a specified packets-per-second rate) so that bulk data can be collected in 
a timely fashion. Scamper's native output file format is called warts: a warts 
file contains substantial meta data surrounding each individual measurement 
conducted, as well as substantial detail of responses received. The 
measurements conducted can range from simple to complex. An example of a simple 
measurement is where a single measurement method (e.g. traceroute) is used on a 
list of IP addresses to conduct a bulk measurement. A more complex measurement 
might be where the outcome of a previous test influences what happens next: for 
example, for each hop in a traceroute path, infer the address of the outgoing 
interface for the previous hop. Complex measurements are conducted by 
connecting to a running scamper process with a driver program which contains 
the logic.
Source Code

The current snapshot of scamper's source code is cvs-20140530. Scamper should 
compile and run under FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD, Linux, MacOS X, Solaris, 
Windows, and DragonFly. Not all of scamper will run on all systems: for 
example, the sting and tbit modules currently require IPFW, which is found on 
FreeBSD and MacOS X. All releases of scamper are licensed under the GPL v2.
Building Scamper

./configure
make
make install

Scamper is available in FreeBSD ports, NetBSD pkgsrc, OpenBSD ports, and in 
Debian/Ubuntu packages. The FreeBSD, NetBSD, and OpenBSD packages should be up 
to date with the latest version of scamper.

a newer ebuild is in the tree, see r6020. Thanks ;-)
