      The mtr Portfile 56011 2009-08-23 08:00:22Z ryandesign macports.org $

      PortSystem 1.0

      Name: mtr
      Version: 0.75
      Category: net
      Maintainers: mr_bond
      Description: 'traceroute' and 'ping' in a single tool
      Long Description: As mtr starts, it investigates the network connection between the host mtr runs on and HOSTNAME. by sending packets with purposly low TTLs. It continues to send pack- ets with low TTL, noting the response time of the inter- vening routers. This allows mtr to print the response percentage and response times of the internet route to HOSTNAME. A sudden increase in packetloss or response time is often an indication of a bad (or simply over- loaded) link.
