Gotta have someone at the other end traceroute back to you.

IMO Traceroute is kinda useless anyway these days.  If you're lucky it'll tell you what L3 routers are in the path, but all manner of tunneling/switching/MPLS stuff is invisible to traceroute.  The only other diagnostic info it gives you is the total of the time that router took to generate an ICMP error message and the time it took that error message to come back to you.... and you can't assume that ICMP message came back to you on the same path normal traffic to and from your destination would have taken.

Is there a tool similar to traceroute to view both paths in an asymmetric path. Maybe something that queries looking glass then multipings
