Just a heads up that in order to get this to run on MacOS, you need MTR installed brew install mtr and it would need to run as sudo.

Hello @dcinzona ,

yes that is correct. in fact, in some Linux distributions, it would require to run with sudo permissions as well, as this is implied by the way how TCP socket is created in a particular system.

Best, Anton
