+Package: mtr
+Priority: optional
+Section: net
+Depends: libncurses
+Description: Full screen ncurses traceroute/ping tool
+ mtr combines the functionality of the 'traceroute' and 'ping' programs
+ in a single network diagnostic tool.
+ .
+ As mtr starts, it investigates the network connection between the host
+ mtr runs on and a user-specified destination host. After it
+ determines the address of each network hop between the machines,
+ it sends a sequence ICMP ECHO requests to each one to determine the
+ quality of the link to each machine. As it does this, it prints
+ running statistics about each machine.
