Rout and Tra Software for Windows

RouteWriter
$40 - Winwaed Software Technology LLC

RouteWriter is a new add-in for Microsoft MapPoint that exports route waypoints and matching pushpins to either an Excel spreadsheet or to a text file. Although MapPoint has an 'export to Excel' option, this is incapable of exporting pushpins in route order. RouteWriter exports the waypoints/pushpins in route order.

RouteWriter can also write rest breaks, the waypoint distance, time, coordinate, address data, and all available pushpin data fields. It can also batch over-ride the stop times, and calculate the optimum waypoint order if required.

Pushpins are matched to waypoints according to name. If the pushpin name is non-unique, then there is the option to choose the closest pushpin to the waypoint.

Supports: Windows 2000, XP, and Vista. Requires: MapPoint 2002,2004, or 2006 (North America or Europe). Excel is also recommended but not required.

Router IP Console
$59.95 - Innerdive Solutions, LLC.

Router IP Console is a simple in usage SNMP-based tool intended for management and control of active network equipment (such as IP routers, repeaters etc). The program supports an additional functions of Cisco(r) specific routers and Windows NT4/2000/XP/2003 SNMP agent. General features: supervises the basic and extended parameters of the router and its interfaces; SNMP GET BULK request can be used; raise alarms on critical situations (router's CPU overload, router's RAM exhausted, interface go to 'down' state) and send alert via e-mail; act as SYSLOG daemon: receive and log SYSLOG messages; receive, analyze and log SNMP traps; repeaters monitoring, control of repeater's ports; searching of MAC addresses; ping monitoring; TCP connection table monitoring; SNMP parameter history, graph and log; export data to Excel. Cisco(r) intended features: Show current running config; CPU and memory load monitoring; environmental monitoring; IP accounting monitoring; description for router's interfaces; interface load monitoring; basic support for voice interfaces. Windows NT4/2000/XP/2003 intended features: show installed software table; show processes table.

SI Trace
$0 - WinCatalog.com

If you cannot connect to a computer over a network, there might be something wrong with the remote PC or with your Internet connection. Or your router might need a reset. Or your Internet provider could be having a temporarily problem that they'll eventually solve. Or maybe it's the fault of one of the routers, switches, access points, servers, or other network hosts that are in between you and the remote computer. How would you know for sure?

In the beginning of the Internet, a tool called traceroute was introduced in Unix. Traceroute does exactly what its name suggests: it traces the route of IP packets while they travel from your PC to the remote destination. The tool essentially allows you to see exactly where the connectivity problem is, no matter how far it is from your computer. The last host to respond to traceroute is the last host that is working properly. The first one that fails to respond is the faulty one.

There is a free tool called tracert.exe that comes with most versions of Windows. You can use this tool to traceroute the remote PC. To use tracert.exe, you would typically invoke a command line, which would open a black console window, and type tracert.exe followed with the IP address of the computer you want to check. Usually you would get a response right in the console window in a matter of seconds. You get the response in a Spartan-looking black console window.

While there's nothing particularly wrong in using the supplied tracert.exe, we at Soft Institute wrapped the same thing into a much more convenient package. SI Trace provides clearly legible, well-formatted output by providing easy to understand numbers and well-explained results. It displays all the vital information from classic Unix traceroute and Windows tracert commands, and allows you to check more than one computer by simply selecting the address from a combo box. Thanks to its user-friendly interface, it is much more convenient to use than Windows tracert.

BKTraceRoute
$14 - Bill Koukoutsis

The BKTraceRoute v3.0 .NET class collection contains TraceRoute and associated utility
classes for tracing the route to one or more remote hosts either synchronously or
asynchronously.

The current version includes:

1. Both synchronous (blocking) and asynchronous (non-blocking) methods for tracing routes
to remote hosts.
2. Fully commented class libraries developed in 100% CLS compliant C# code.
3. Thorough documentation in .CHM (Compiled HTML Help File) format for the BKTraceRoute
and BKSystem class libraries.
4. Windows Forms and Console examples detailing both synchronous and asynchronous methods of tracing the route to remote hosts, written in both C# and VB.NET using Microsoft
Visual Studio .NET 2003.
5. Per Developer and Source Code Licensing are available. In both cases, there are no
runtime royalties or other fees!

TraceRoute Wizard ActiveX
$199 - Seekford Solutions, inc

Trace Route Wizard allows a programmer to trace the route a packet must take to get to any specified address(IP or FQDN). It is very intuitive and straight forward. Fully ActiveX compliant, Trace Route Wizard also is setup to be used excellently in ASP scripted pages, or any ActiveX compliant scriptable languages because it has methods that utilize events and special methods that let you step through the process. You also get an immense amount of information regarding each Hop and also supports multiple attempts per hop. All of the functionality of the program that comes with Windows tracert.exe plus much more. You get information like: Time To Live of Returned Packets Packet Data Size of returned packets Round Trip Time of hop attempts Average, Minimum, and Maximum Round Trip Times of entire Hops plus much more You can also set how everything happens, like: Amount of time to wait per Hop attempt How many attempts per Hop Maximum Hops to check Amount of data to send in trace packets plus much more A lot of computer users know about the TraceRt program that comes with windows and Unix. It is a handy tool for figuring out where the network latency is coming from by show the exact path a packet has to take from the local machine to the target server. By looking at each step in the path, you can see where the packet is getting tied up and which routers are overloaded or antiquated. TraceRoute Wizard gives you all of this power and lets you put it right into your application. It is great for network monitoring applications, network diagnostics, latency checkups, and many more projects. This control works with any ActiveX container and even works in ActiveX scriptable languages such as VBScript
