Dear Int-Area WG,the last time we presented Reverse Traceroute a comment was made that ICMP as being used today usually does not keep state around. We still believe that it does no real harm in this case but, as an alternative that does not need state, we have written up a stateless alternative for Reverse Traceroute.
Where's the catch? Well, stateless reverse traceroute can always enumerate the routers on the reverse path, but it can potentially fail to provide an RTT measurement for each hop. But read for yourself:
