Table View
Hop-by-hop IPs, geolocation, latency, and loss in a clean, scannable format.
VisualRoute is a complete diagnostic surface, not a single tool. Each capability below answers a different kind of "why is this slow" question, and they all share the same underlying trace.
Standard traceroute captures a single path on a single run. OmniPath discovers every path packets might take and reports the performance of each one separately. Load balancers, failover routes, and asymmetric paths become visible on the first trace.
NetVu builds a live diagram of your entire active set of routes. Shared hops stand out, single points of failure are obvious, and the picture updates the moment the network changes. Hover any node for live latency and loss.
Ping Plot graphs every response to every hop in real time. When latency climbs or packets start dropping, the bad hop announces itself immediately. Pair it with continuous tracing for around-the-clock monitoring of a single target.
VisualRoute traces IPv6 addresses with the same depth of reporting as IPv4. If your ISP is IPv4-only, the Business and SupportPro editions can run traces from Visualware's IPv6-enabled servers, so you get true IPv6 path data without changing your local network.
The seven core views any network engineer expects, designed so you can switch between them without losing context.
Hop-by-hop IPs, geolocation, latency, and loss in a clean, scannable format.
Every hop from source to destination with latency at each point.
A readable summary of latency, loss, route length, and DNS behavior.
The physical path your traffic takes, plotted in real time.
Continuously graphs response times so jitter and loss surface immediately.
Discovers every route to a destination, exposing load balancers and failover paths.
Every trace retained by target. Analyze drift, loss, and route change over time.
