| <para> |
| This program has long history. Author of <command/traceroute/ |
| is Van Jacobson and it first appeared in 1988. This clone is |
| based on a port of <command/traceroute/ to IPv6 published |
| in NRL IPv6 distribution in 1996. In turn, it was ported |
| to Linux by Pedro Roque. After this it was kept in sync by |
| <ulink url="mailto:kuznet@ms2.inr.ac.ru">Alexey Kuznetsov |
| <kuznet@ms2.inr.ac.ru></ulink>. And eventually entered |
| <command/iputils/ package. |
