[smokeping-users] Has anybody wirtten a routine to determine whereon a route loss is occuring?

[Fred Skrotzki]

The problem with this approach is that the points inbetween can change
specially if a providers peering point is starting to fail and I want to
follow those changes...  That is what mtr does nicely.

i often have problems with a particular partner.

So i did a traceroute to the partners IP address and started doing
regular smokeping monitoring of each node all the way to the partner.
That will show where the problem is, but you have to monitor each node.
