[smokeping-users] graphing traceroutes possible?

[Tobias Oetiker]

Hi Joshua,

curently smokeping has no functionality for running background
traceroutes and recording of that information ...

but if you have a budget, I'll be glad to make you an offer for
developing such a feature.

If you program yourself I'll be glad todo some chaperoning ...

cheers
tobi
