WHATROUTE

WhatRoute was originally developed in 1996, to run under MacOS 7.5.3 using the (at the time) newly released Open Transport TCP/IP stack. There was no other software for the Macintosh that could perform Traceroute or Ping, although the functionality was provided on both Windows 95 and Unix platforms. How embarassing was that? WhatRoute was the first piece of software to bring these networking utilities to the Macintosh... WhatRoute is a network diagnostic utility designed for Apple Macintosh computers. Primarily it provides a Traceroute function, but can also perform Ping, Domain Name Service queries, Whois queries and monitor the traffic to and from your computer. The software also uses a Geo-Location service to provide a geographical view of the paths that packets from your computer take as they traverse the Internet.
