Service Traceroute
Service Traceroute is a tool that allows the discovery of individual application flows paths. Service Traceroute leverages the ideas from paratrace, Sidecar, and 0trace, to passively listen to application traffic to then issue traceroute probes that pretend to be part of the application flow. Service Traceroute extends this idea to work for modern Internet services and support tracing of multiple concurrent TCP flows, as well as for UDP flows. Service Traceroute is available both as command-line tool and library versions. Check out our paper for more details on how Service Traceroute works.
To analyze the produced data, please refer to the following repository: service-traceroute-analysis.
Installation from source code
Service Traceroute requires a working version of libpcap to be installed on your system. We have tested the code with the default version of libpcap distributed with Ubuntu 16.04, Fedora 25, and Mac OS High Sierra. The following instructions follow the steps used for Ubuntu, but should be easily adaptable to any other operating system.
To compile, first install eventual missing dependencies:
go mod tidy
Then run:
make
This will create the servicetraceroute binary.
For help on how to execute a Service Traceroute experiment, run:
./servicetraceroute -h
Installation from binary
Coming soon...
Inclusion as a library in third party software
First, retrieve the source code from this repository:
go get github.com/inria-muse/service-traceroute
For an example of how to include a Service Traceroute experiment within a third party go program, please refer to the example found at: https://github.com/inria-muse/service-traceroute/tree/master/example
