history
This program
has long history. Author of traceroute is Van
Jacobson and it first appeared in 1988. This clone is based
on a port of traceroute to IPv6 published in NRL IPv6
distribution in 1996. In turn, it was ported to Linux by
Pedro Roque. After this it was kept in sync by Alexey
Kuznetsov <kuznet[:at:]ms2.inr.ac[:dot:]ru>. And eventually
entered iputils package.
