What is paris-traceroute? Never heard.
My traceroute shows stars but ping works fine
Astro03 Paris traceroute = sends probes with same flow identifier so load balancers treat them as one flow, revealing actual path instead of jumping between parallel links. From research at Paris VI university, hence name. Not in all repos by default.
On my end I just use MTR. Combines ping and traceroute, handles the stars gracefully, shows loss per hop if any. Available everywhere.
MTR still needs the time-exceeded replies. If middlebox drops them, MTR shows stars too. Pretty stars, but still stars.
