+@command{traceroute} and @command{ping} programs in a single network diagnostic
+tool.  @command{mtr} uses ICMP ECHO packets to detect intermediate routers (or
+@dfn{hops}) between the local host and a user-specified destination.  It then
+continually measures the response time and packet loss at each hop, and
+displays the results in real time.")
