WhatRoute overview

WhatRoute is designed to find the names of all the routers an IP packet passes through on its way from your Mac to a destination host. It also measures the round-trip time from your Mac to the router, thus enabling you to determine slow links--or hops--in the Internet. WhatRoute can also find dead links, such as routers that don't respond.

A geo-location server is queried and the locations of the hosts discovered in a trace or seen active on the LAN, can be plotted on a low resolution map or viewed in high resolution on Google Earth
WhatRoute also provides network and port scanning, ping, whois, DNS, and LAN monitoring functions.
Find the ASN with which a network is registered and the networks with which it peers.

Good application. I can confirm that it's a Mach-O universal binary. I would give it 5 stars if the map always showed up reliably.

You better make a Universal at least before the last Intel Mac Pro is replaced this coming Fall! You sales will fall to floor!

I pushed the map to my big tv, full screen. Fascinating to watch the flow of connections flying around on the map.

Not to fond of the layout on the program WhatRoute. I use VisualRoute, i like the layout much more and i guess because i have bought it.

Version: 1.12.0

A great all-in-one tool for Whois, Trace, Ping, Query, Finger, Address Scan, and Port Scan tasks. One request: It would be great if the map could be made bigger and would also show some information for Whois queries. Still, clearly a 5 star application. Thanks to the developer!

Version: 1.11.0

A useful tool. It could need a graphical update though. It looks more like an Mac OS 9 app than a OS X app :)

1.10.7

Version: 1.10.7

Removing net.whatroute prefs and cache created by older version "cures" the lock-up when 1.10.7 is installed after using older version.

Can't get 1.10.7 to work on my 2011 iMac under 10.6.8 no matter where it is installed. Asks for the admin password, then 'loading database' then spinning beachball and 'Application not responding' in Activity monitor. 10.1.6 still works fine.

1.10.6

Version: 1.10.6

It *WILL* fail if you try to run it from the downloaded disk image. Drag it to your applications folder/ desk top/ where-ever to run it

W-h-k

Tells me three times about the need to enter admin name and password, never asks for it, then quits because WhatRouteHelper has not started. Total failure.

1.10.5

Version: 1.10.5

This is probably the least stable application I use under Lion. Lots of crashes and scrolling just doesn't work right at all. I can't dump it though. It's just too useful.
