This is an alternative traceroute program that performs network route analysis to locate outgoing data packets and any potential issues in the network.
FFT is an excellent program for displaying the route packets take to an IP network host. It is an alternative traceroute program that offers many advantages over Van Jacobson's traceroute. One of the notable differences is the use of TCP instead of ICMP. FFT uses TCP to elicit ICMP TIME_EXCEEDEDs or TCP_RST, which makes it faster than traceroute in some cases.
Additionally, FFT can see behind some configurations of packet-filter based firewalls, which is impossible for traceroute. The software has been around since 1998, and this is its first release on Darwin/MacOSX, making it a great addition to the macOS software toolset.
Overall, FFT is a reliable and efficient traceroute program that delivers fast and accurate results. It is easy to use and has a clean interface, making it accessible to everyone, including those users who are not familiar with network analysis. In conclusion, FFT is an essential tool for anyone who needs to troubleshoot network issues or understand the flow of network traffic.
