Description

High-Performance Connectivity Tracer (HiPerConTracer) is a Ping/Traceroute measurement framework. HiPerConTracer refers to the core measurement tool, which performs regular Ping and Traceroute runs among sites. Key features include:

Multi-transport-protocol support (ICMP, UDP);
Multi-homing and parallelism support;
Handling of network load balancing;
Multi-platform support (currently Linux and FreeBSD);
High-precision (nanosecond) timing (Linux software and hardware timestamping);
Integrated library (shared/static) for third-party software (libhipercontracer);
Open-source C++ codebase focused on performance and portability with only a small number of dependencies.

Furthermore, the HiPerConTracer framework provides additional tools for obtaining, processing, collecting, storing, and retrieving measurement data:

Viewer Tool: Displays the contents of results files.
Results Tool: Merges and converts results files (e.g., to CSV format).
Sync Tool: Copies data from a measurement node (vantage point) to a remote collector server via RSync/SSH.
Reverse Tunnel Tool: Maintains a reverse SSH tunnel from a remote measurement node to a collector server.
Collector/Node Tools: Simplify the setup of nodes and collectors.
Trigger Tool: Triggers measurements in the reverse direction.
Importer Tool: Stores measurement data into SQL (MariaDB/MySQL, PostgreSQL) or NoSQL (MongoDB) databases.
Query Tool: Queries data from a database and stores it into a results file.
Database Shell: A simple command-line front-end for the underlying database backends.
Database Tools: Helper scripts to join database configurations into an existing DBeaver configuration.
UDP Echo Server: A UDP Echo (RFC 862) protocol endpoint.
