# HOW TO EDIT THIS FILE:
# The "handy ruler" below makes it easier to edit a package description.  Line
# up the first '|' above the ':' following the base package name, and the '|'
# on the right side marks the last column you can put a character in.  You must
# make exactly 11 lines for the formatting to be correct.  It's also
# customary to leave one space after the ':'.

mtr: in a single network diagnostic tool.
mtr: As mtr starts, it investigates the network connection between the host 
mtr: mtr runs on and a user-specified destination host. After it determines
mtr: the address of each network hop between the machines, it sends a 
mtr: sequence ICMP ECHO requests to each one to determine the quality of 
mtr: the link to each machine. As it does this, it prints running 
mtr: statistics about each machine.
