MTR (My Traceroute) merges the functionality of ping and traceroute into a single diagnostic tool. Instead of showing you the route once, PingKit's MTR continuously probes every hop between your iPhone and the destination, building up statistical data that reveals intermittent problems a one-shot traceroute would miss entirely.
MTR doesn't stop after one pass. It keeps probing every hop, accumulating data over time so intermittent packet loss and latency spikes become visible in the statistics.
See minimum, average, maximum, and standard deviation latency for each individual hop along the route. Identify which router or network segment is introducing delay.
Track loss percentage at every hop independently. Distinguish between real packet loss and ICMP rate-limiting by comparing loss patterns across consecutive hops.
Watch statistics update live as each probe returns. No waiting for a test to finish before you can see results. Spot problems the moment they appear.
Your connection is slow but you don't know why. A speed test tells you something is wrong; MTR tells you where. Run it to the destination and look for the first hop where latency jumps or loss appears. That's the bottleneck, and now you know whether it's your local network, your ISP, or somewhere further upstream.
When you suspect your ISP is the problem, MTR gives you the evidence. Run tests to multiple destinations and look for patterns. If loss consistently appears at the same hop within your ISP's network regardless of destination, you have a clear case to present to their support team with specific router addresses and loss percentages.
Understanding how your traffic reaches a destination can explain unexpected latency. MTR reveals the complete path including geographic detours, peering points, and CDN routing decisions. If your traffic to a nearby server takes a round trip through another continent, you'll see it in the hop-by-hop data.
Calling your ISP and saying "my internet is slow" rarely gets results. Calling with MTR data showing 15% packet loss at their specific router IP address does. PingKit's MTR results include everything a network engineer needs: hop addresses, hostnames, loss percentages, and latency statistics collected over time.
PingKit doesn't just replicate command-line MTR. The Visual Route Map plots each hop on an interactive map so you can see the geographic path your traffic takes. Geo-IP lookups resolve hop locations automatically, and the map spreads clustered hops for clarity. Combined with Connection Monitor for long-term tracking and Smart Diagnostics for AI-powered analysis, PingKit turns raw MTR data into actionable network intelligence.
