Fixes to make it behave more like stable 0.87

Open totoCZ opened this issue 4 years ago • 5 comments

  • Fix for #232 #250
  • Reverted d2552ca because it breaks MPLS and hosts start jumping up and down in the interactive display

I'm not certain about some things in deconstruct_unix (why (struct ICMPHeader *) (ip + 1) in handle_received_ip4_packet? It should be the same for both sockets.

But I don't have any more time/energy to work on improving it further.

Revert "Change TTL dynamically to adjust for path changes" … You want to revert some "improvements" that others are working on. You need to provide a better argument than: "I don't like it". For example a case where it did something wrong, so that we can go forward towards "the best of both worlds".

Wrong, I don't need to provide anything.

Anyhow, you better read why it's broken.

OK. I don't know how to reproduce the problems you're seeing.

Easy, run mtr with -e, ie.

./mtr upc.cz -e

Passes through aorta.net with MPLS, no MPLS labels are displayed.

Run mtr with -u

./mtr upc.cz -u

Unlike versions before that commit multiple hosts on each line start jumping up and down instead of staying at the fixed place making it super hard to read.

FWIW, I have tested the above patches against mtr-0.94 (with & without the Revert "Change TTL dynamically to adjust for path changes") but issue https://github.com/traviscross/mtr/issues/232 is still present
