=head1 VERSION
This document describes version 0.10 of Net::Traceroute::PurePerl.
=head1 SYNOPSIS
use Net::Traceroute::PurePerl;
my $t = new Net::Traceroute::PurePerl(
backend => 'PurePerl', # this optional
host => 'www.openreach.com',
debug => 0,
max_ttl => 12,
query_timeout => 2,
packetlen => 40,
protocol => 'udp', # Or icmp
);
$t->traceroute;
$t->pretty_print;
=head1 DESCRIPTION
This module implements traceroute(1) functionality for perl5.
It allows you to trace the path IP packets take to a destination.
It is implemented by using raw sockets to act just like the regular traceroute.
You must also be root to use the raw sockets.
=head1 INSTALLATION
=head2 Basic Installation
Net::Traceroute::PurePerl may be installed through the CPAN shell
in the usual CPAN shell manner. This typically is:
$ perl -MCPAN -e 'install Net::Traceroute::PurePerl'
You can also read this README from the CPAN shell:
$ perl -MCPAN -e shell
cpan> readme Net::Traceroute::PurePerl
And you can install the module from the CPAN prompt as well:
cpan> install Net::Traceroute::PurePerl
=head2 Manual Installation
Net::Traceroute::PurePerl can also be installed manually.
L or a
similarly named directory at your favorite CPAN mirror should hold the
latest version.
Downloading and unpacking the distribution are left up to the reader.
To build and test it:
perl Makefile.PL
make
make test
The test program, t/01_trace.t, makes an excellent sample program. It was
adapted from the code used to test and develop this module. There may be
additional sample programs in the examples folder.
When you are ready to install the module:
make install
It should now be ready to use.
=head1 OVERVIEW
A new Net::Traceroute::PurePerl object must be created with the I method.
This will not perform the traceroute immediately, unlike Net::Traceroute.
It will return a "template" object that can be used to set parameters for
several subsequent traceroutes.
Methods are available for accessing information about a given
traceroute attempt. There are also methods that view/modify the
options that are passed to the object's constructor.
To trace a route, UDP or ICMP packets are sent with a small TTL (time-to-live)
field in an attempt to get intervening routers to generate ICMP
TIME_EXCEEDED messages.
=head1 VERSION CHANGES
This version of Net::Traceroute::PurePerl is a complete rewrite of the internal
traceroute code used in the 0.02 release. As such a number of new capabilities
have been introduced, and probably a number of bugs as well.
The public methods have remained unchanged, and this should be a drop in
replacement for the older version.
This version no longer resolves router IPs to host names in the traceroute
code. If you need the IP resolved you have to do it from your code, or use
the pretty_print method with a positive value passed as an argument.
The current version does not correctly detect network unreachable and
other nonstandard ICMP errors. This can lead to problems on networks where
these errors are sent instead of a port unreachable or ttl exceeded packet.
=head1 CONSTRUCTOR
$obj = Net::Traceroute::PurePerl->new(
[base_port => $base_port,]
[debug => $debuglvl,]
[max_ttl => $max_ttl,]
[host => $host,]
[queries => $queries,]
[query_timeout => $query_timeout,]
[source_address => $srcaddr,]
[packetlen => $packetlen,]
[concurrent_hops => $concurrent,]
[first_hop => $first_hop,]
[device => $device,]
[protocol => $protocol,]
);
This is the constructor for a new Net::Traceroute object.
If given C, it will NOT actually perform the traceroute.
You MUST call the traceroute method later.
Possible options are:
B - A host to traceroute to. If you don't set this, you get a
Traceroute object with no traceroute data in it. The module always
uses IP addresses internally and will attempt to lookup host names via
inet_aton.
B - Base port number to use for the UDP queries.
Traceroute assumes that nothing is listening to port C to
C
where nhops is the number of hops required to reach the destination
address and nqueries is the number of queries per hop.
Default is what the system traceroute uses (normally 33434)
C's C<-p> option.
B - A number indicating how verbose debug information should
be. Please include debug=>9 output in bug reports.
B - Maximum number of hops to try before giving up. Default
is what the system traceroute uses (normally 30). C's
C<-m> option.
B - Number of times to send a query for a given hop.
Defaults to whatever the system traceroute uses (3 for most
traceroutes). C's C<-q> option.
B - How many seconds to wait for a response to each
query sent. Uses the system traceroute's default value of 5 if
unspecified. C's C<-w> option.
B - unused here
B - Select the source address that traceroute will use.
C's C<-S> option.
B - Length of packets to use. Traceroute tries to make the
IP packet exactly this long.
B - unused here
B - unused at the moment
B - unused in this version
B - Either ICMP or UDP. ICMP uses ICMP echo packets with incrementing
sequence numbers, while UDP uses USP packets with incrementing ports. It
defaults to udp.
B - This is the maximum number of outstanding packets sent
at one time. Setting this to a high number may overflow your socket receive
buffer and slightly delay the processing of response packets, making the
round trip time reported slightly higher, however it will significantly
decrease the amount of time it takes to run a traceroute. Defaults to 6.
C's C<-N> option.
B - This is the lowest TTL to use. Setting this will skip the
first x routers in the path, especially useful if they never change. Defaults
to 1. C's C<-f> option.
B - The device to send the packet from. Normally this is determined
by the system's routing table, but it can be overridden. It defaults to undef.
C's C<-I> option.
=head1 METHODS
=over 4
=item traceroute
Run the traceroute.
Will fill in the rest of the object for informational queries.
The traceroute method is a blocking call. It will not return until the max_ttl
is reached or the host is reached. As such, if your program is time dependent
the call should be wrapped in an eval with an ALARM set.
eval {
local $SIG{ALRM} = sub { die "alarm" };
alarm $timeout;
$success = $t->traceroute();
alarm 0;
}
warn "Traceroute timed out\n" if ($@ and $@ eq "alarm");
Returns 1 if the host was reached, or 0 if it wasn't.
=back
=head2 Controlling traceroute invocation
Each of these methods return the current value of the option specified
by the corresponding constructor option. They will set the object's
instance variable to the given value if one is provided.
Changing an instance variable will only affect newly performed
traceroutes. Setting a different value on a traceroute object that
has already performed a trace has no effect.
See the constructor documentation for information about methods that
aren't documented here.

=back
=head2 Obtaining information about a Trace
These methods return information about a traceroute that has already
been performed.
Any of the methods in this section that return a count of something or
want an Ith type count to identify something employ one based
counting.
=over 4
=item pretty_print
Prints to stdout a traceroute-like text. Tries to mimic traceroute(1)'s
output as close as possible with a few exceptions. First, the columns are
easier to read, and second, a new line is started if the host IP changes
instead of printing the new IP inline. The first column stays the same hop
number, only the host changes.
Passing in an argument of 1 will make pretty_print resolve the names of the
router ips, otherwise they are printed as raw ip addresses, like
C's C<-n> option.
=item stat
Returns the status of a given traceroute object. One of
TRACEROUTE_OK, TRACEROUTE_TIMEOUT, or TRACEROUTE_UNKNOWN (each defined
as an integer). TRACEROUTE_OK will only be returned if the host was
actually reachable.
=item found
Returns 1 if the host was found, undef otherwise.
=item pathmtu
If your traceroute supports MTU discovery, this method will return the
MTU in some circumstances. You must set no_fragment, and must use a
packetlen larger than the path mtu for this to be set.
NOTE: This doesn't work with this version.
=item hops
Returns the number of hops that it took to reach the host.
=item hop_queries(HOP)
Returns the number of queries that were sent for a given hop. This
should normally be the same for every query.
=item hop_query_stat(HOP, QUERY)
Return the status of the given HOP's QUERY. The return status can be
one of the following (each of these is actually an integer constant
function defined in Net::Traceroute's export list):
QUERY can be zero, in which case the first succesful query will be
returned.
=over 4
=item TRACEROUTE_OK
Reached the host, no problems.
=item TRACEROUTE_TIMEOUT
This query timed out.
=item TRACEROUTE_UNKNOWN
Your guess is as good as mine. Shouldn't happen too often.
=item TRACEROUTE_UNREACH_NET
This hop returned an ICMP Network Unreachable.
=item TRACEROUTE_UNREACH_HOST
This hop returned an ICMP Host Unreachable.
=item TRACEROUTE_UNREACH_PROTO
This hop returned an ICMP Protocol unreachable.
=item TRACEROUTE_UNREACH_NEEDFRAG
Indicates that you can't reach this host without fragmenting your
packet further. Shouldn't happen in regular use.
=item TRACEROUTE_UNREACH_SRCFAIL
A source routed packet was rejected for some reason. Shouldn't happen.
=item TRACEROUTE_UNREACH_FILTER_PROHIB
A firewall or similar device has decreed that your traffic is
disallowed by administrative action. Suspect sheer, raving paranoia.
=item TRACEROUTE_BSDBUG
The destination machine appears to exhibit the 4.[23]BSD time exceeded
bug.
=back
=item hop_query_host(HOP, QUERY)
Return the dotted quad IP address of the host that responded to HOP's
QUERY.
QUERY can be zero, in which case the first succesful query will be
returned.
=item hop_query_time(HOP, QUERY)
Return the round trip time associated with the given HOP's query. If
your system's traceroute supports fractional second timing, so
will Net::Traceroute.
QUERY can be zero, in which case the first succesful query will be
returned.
=back
=head1 BUGS and LIMITATIONS
I have not tested the cloning functions of Net::Traceroute::PurePerl.
It ought to work, but if not, BUG me.
This module requires root or administrative privileges to run. It opens a raw
socket to listen for TTL exceeded messages. Take appropriate precautions.
Windows only supports ICMP traceroutes. This may change in a future release,
but it is a real pain since Windows doesn't send ICMP error messages to
applications for other protocols unless the socket is in promiscous mode. :(
The current version does not correctly detect network unreachable and
other nonstandard ICMP errors. This can lead to problems on networks where
these errors are sent instead of a port unreachable or ttl exceeded packet.
The current version does not support Net::Traceroute's clone method.
Calling clone will create an object that is unusable at this point.
