WinMTR Description

WinMTR is a lightweight and portable application that combines the Ping and Traceroute commands to test traffic between your computer and a host. Since installation is not a requirement, you can just drop the executable file somewhere on the hard disk and click it to run. An alternative is to save WinMTR to a USB flash disk, in order to run it on any computer with minimum effort. An important aspect to take into account is that the Windows Registry does not get new entries, and files do not remain on the disk once the tool is removed. The interface is based on a basic window with a well-structured layout, where you can write a host's name or IP address, and configure settings when it comes to the refresh rate, maximum hosts in the LRU list, and ping size. You can also ask WinMTR to resolve names. Results shows the ID number, sent and received packets, best, worst, average and last values, along with the percentage of lost packets. This report can be exported to plain text or HTML for further scrutiny, as well as copied to the Clipboard (as TXT or HTML). WinMTR does not put a strain on system performance, since it requires minimum CPU and RAM. It has a good refresh rate and does not interrupt user activity when minimized to the taskbar. We have not come across any issues throughout our evaluation. WinMTR performs smoothly on newer operating systems. Reviewed by Elena Opris, last updated on September 12th, 2013
