I've always been preferential to mtr, Matt's TraceRoute. Its not 
installed by default on any distro that I know of, but I put it on any 
box I admin. For those that don't know, mtr is a combination of 
traceroute and ping program. It traces a route, and then proceeds to 
ping every host on the route and keeps track of stats like below.
