Yesterday afternoon I got to hang out at ihug HQ in downtown Auckland with Bryan Christianson, creator of WhatRoute, a MacOS-based traceroute package. For you non-geeks, traceroute is a program that lets one trace Internet traffic as it goes to and fro around the net, useful for finding bottlenecks on networks, etc. Anyway, a new version of WhatRoute will be out shortly, and it's drastically improved since v1.8.0 (Bryan gave me a copy). It includes an easy-to-use LAN monitor. Hmm...
