A Go-based command-line tool that tests return (backhaul) routing paths across China's three major ISPs (China Telecom, China Unicom, China Mobile). It traces network routes from a server back to these carrier networks, commonly used to evaluate VPS line quality.

Use cases

• test return route quality of my VPS to China Telecom Unicom and Mobile
• trace backhaul routing from a server to Chinese carriers
• check if my server uses CN2 or 163 backbone routes
• diagnose network path from overseas server to mainland China
• run three-network route test on a Linux terminal

When to choose

• you need to evaluate China-facing VPS or server line quality
• you want a quick one-line install terminal tool for return route tracing
• you specifically need coverage of all three major Chinese ISPs

When to avoid

• you need general-purpose traceroute or mtr for arbitrary destinations
• you need a GUI network diagnostics tool
• your use case has nothing to do with routes toward Chinese carrier networks
