Python Network Programming

Getting ready

You may install traIXroute through pip:

$ sudo pip install traixroute

To measure the performance and topologies of the internet, you also need to install scamper (https://www.caida.org/tools/measurement/scamper/), a parallel measurement utility for the internet:

$ sudo scamper-install

Your traIXroute is now ready to analyze the internet connectivity through the IXPs. You may confirm your successful install by running the --help command, which will produce the output as follows:

$ traixroute --help
