Very cool real-world example of an app I've never heard about solving
a problem I didn't know could be this easy to figure out.
http://michael.toren.net/code/tcptraceroute/

Unfortunately, tcptraceroute appears to have been abandoned by the
author; it was last updated in 2002 and associated mailing lists have
since been deleted.  The major distros have the package available in
some form, usually part of a community-supported repo, but there
longer appears to be any active development (IPv6 support, etc).
NDisc6 (http://www.remlab.net/ndisc6/) appears to provide an IPv6
equivalent.  Anyone know of any other packages/tools out there that
also provide something similar?  /me wonders why iputils' traceroute
still doesn't have TCP support after all these years.
