But the output of traceroute differs from platform to platform. This is no problem for humans - but if you want to tell a computer how read the output of "traceroute" or "tracert" you have to set up certain parsing rules. Net_Traceroute helps you parsing the output by providing array-structures that contain all data from the traceroute-output. Documentation, tutorials etc.: ------------------------------ Have a look at the example in docs/examples/. Together with the API-reference this should easily get you started. Hey, Net_Traceroute is not *that* difficult to use :-))
