MTR Report

What is a MTR Report?

A MTR (My Traceroute) Report is a network diagnostic tool. This allows a technician to view the path a packet takes from a source to a destination across the internet. This form of report allows us to collect data over a period of time. This report can show us the reliability of a network and where specifically issues may occur.
