#22240: traceroute -I uses UDP instead of ICMP packets
-----------------------------+--------------------------------
Reporter: aheckmann@… | Owner: developers
Type: defect | Status: new
Priority: normal | Milestone:
Component: base system | Version: Chaos Calmer 15.05
Keywords: traceroute icmp |
-----------------------------+--------------------------------
The '''traceroute -I''' does not use ICMP packages (as noted in the docs).
Instead it uses the default UDP packages. Since on many boxes UDP packets
are silently discarded, a traceroute is not possible. The possibility to
use ICMP in such cases would be great.

== BusyBox traceroute options ==
BusyBox v1.23.2 (2015-07-25 15:09:46 CEST) multi-call binary.
Usage: traceroute [-FIldnrv] [-f 1ST_TTL] [-m MAXTTL] [-p PORT] [-q
PROBES]
[-s SRC_IP] [-t TOS] [-w WAIT_SEC] [-g GATEWAY] [-i IFACE]
[-z PAUSE_MSEC] HOST [BYTES]
Trace the route to HOST

-p Base UDP port number used in probes
(default 33434)
-q Number of probes per TTL (default 3)
-s IP address to use as the source address
-t Type-of-service in probe packets (default 0)
-w Time in seconds to wait for a response (default 3)
