NextTrace is an open-source, lightweight visual route tracking CLI tool written in Go. It performs traceroute with enriched output including GeoIP, ASN, and AS-path information for each hop.

Use cases

  • trace the network route to a host with geolocation info
  • look up ASN and AS path for each hop in a traceroute
  • diagnose network routing issues from the command line
  • visualize IP geolocation along a route
  • check which carriers an international route passes through

When to choose

  • you need traceroute enriched with GeoIP and ASN data
  • you want a lightweight, cross-platform CLI for network route analysis
  • you need scriptable route tracing with API support

When to avoid

  • you need a GUI-based network diagnostics suite
  • you need packet capture or deep protocol analysis like Wireshark
  • you only need simple ping/latency checks
