Visualware’s VisualRoute 8 lets network administrators keep tabs on Internet performance and usage by visually mapping where and how traffic is flowing on an Internet connection. The software displays a geographical map of IP addresses, as well as the performance of each segment along the route. The software’s intelligent tracing capabilities use multiple protocols (including ICMP, TCP, and UDP) to provide more thorough reporting of IP routing. It’s available in a Personal Edition, as well as a Server Edition that delivers remote access to multiple users.
