Gathering Traceroute Test Results

You can either poll traceRouteResultsOperStatus to find out when the test is complete or request that a trap be sent when the test is complete. For more information about traceResultsOperStatus, see Monitoring a Running Traceroute Test. For more information about Traceroute MIB traps, see the Generating Traps section in Monitoring a Running Traceroute Test.

Statistics are calculated on a per-hop basis and then stored in traceRouteHopsTable. They include the following for each hop:

  • traceRouteHopsIpTgtAddressType—Address type of host at this hop
  • traceRouteHopsIpTgtAddress—Address of host at this hop
  • traceRouteHopsMinRtt—Minimum round-trip time
  • traceRouteHopsMaxRtt—Maximum round-trip time
  • traceRouteHopsAverageRtt—Average round-trip time
  • traceRouteHopsRttSumOfSquares—Sum of squares of round-trip times
  • traceRouteHopsSentProbes—Number of attempts to send probes
  • traceRouteHopsProbeResponses—Number of responses received
  • traceRouteHopsLastGoodProbe—Timestamp of last response

You can also consult traceRouteProbeHistoryTable for more detailed information about each probe. The index used for traceRouteProbeHistoryTable starts at 1, goes to 0xFFFFFFFF, and wraps to 1 again.

For example, assume the following:

  • traceRouteCtlMaxRows is 10.
  • traceRouteCtlProbesPerHop is 5.
  • There are eight hops to the target (the target being number eight).
  • Each probe sent results in a response from a host (the number of probes sent is not limited by traceRouteCtlMaxFailures).

In this test, 40 probes are sent. At the end of the test, traceRouteProbeHistoryTable would have a history of probes like those in Table 1.
