[smokeping-users] Traceroute probe

[Tobias Oetiker]

Hi Alexis,

I have an offer out to a customer who would like to see a ajax
frontend to mtr integrated with smokeping ...

don't have to contract yet, but it may get you the ability to click
on a link that looks odd and get a traceroute from the server ...
there would be no history, but it may make trouble shooting simpler
...


cheers
tobi
