+High-Performance Connectivity Tracer (HiPerConTracer) is a Ping/Traceroute
+measurement framework. HiPerConTracer denotes the actual measurement tool. It
+performs regular Ping and Traceroute runs among sites, featuring:
+multi-transport-protocol support (ICMP, UDP);
+multi-homing and parallelism support;
+handling of load balancing in the network;
+multi-platform support (currently Linux and FreeBSD);
+high-precision (nanoseconds) timing support (Linux timestamping, both software
+and hardware);
+a library (shared/static) to integrate measurement functionality into other
+software (libhipercontracer);
+open source and written in a performance- and portability-focused programming
+language (C++) with only limited dependencies.
+Furthermore, the HiPerConTracer Framework furthermore provides additional
+tools for helping to obtain, process, collect, store, and retrieve
+measurement data:
+HiPerConTracer Viewer Tool for displaying the contents of results files;
+Results Tool for merging and converting results files, e.g. to create a
+Comma-Separated Value (CSV) file;
+Sync Tool for copying data from a measurement node (vantage point) to a
+remote HiPerConTracer Collector server (via RSync/SSH);
+Reverse Tunnel Tool for maintaining a reverse SSH tunnel from a remote
+measurement node to a HiPerConTracer Collector server;
+Collector/Node Tools for simplifying the setup of HiPerConTracer Nodes
+and a HiPerConTracer Collector server;
+Trigger Tool for triggering HiPerConTracer measurements in the reverse
+direction;
+Importer Tool for storing measurement data from results files into SQL or
+NoSQL databases. Currently, database backends for MariaDB/MySQL
+PostgreSQL, MongoDB) are provided;
+Query Tool for querying data from a database and storing it into a
+results file;
+Database Shell as simple command-line front-end for the underlying
+database backends;
+Database Tools with some helper scripts to e.g. to join HiPerConTracer
+database configurations into an existing DBeaver (a popular SQL database
+GUI application) configuration;
+UDP Echo Server as UDP Echo (RFC 862) protocol endpoint;
+Wireshark dissector for HiPerConTracer packets.
