This program has long history. Author of traceroute is Van Jacobson and it first appeared in 1988. This clone is based on a port of tracer- oute 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 Alexey Kuznetsov <kuznet@ms2.inr.ac.ru>. And eventually entered iputils package. SECURITY
tracepath6 requires CAP_NET_RAW capability to be executed. It is safe to be used as set-uid root. AVAILABILITY
