## NextTrace Lite

Document Language: English | [简体中文](README_zh_CN.md)

An open source visual routing tool that pursues light weight, developed using Golang.

NextTrace has a total of 2 versions, the Lite version focusing on lightweight and the [Enhanced version](#nexttrace-enhanced) which is more enthusiast-oriented.

PS: Our Lite version does not provide OSM based geolocation visualization, we provide this parameter in the enhanced version if needed.

## How To Use

### Automated Installation

```bash
# Linux one-click install script
bash <(curl -Ls https://raw.githubusercontent.com/xgadget-lab/nexttrace/main/nt_install.sh)

# macOS brew install command
brew tap xgadget-lab/nexttrace && brew install nexttrace
```

- `Release` provides compiled executables for many systems and architectures, if not, you can compile it yourself.
- Some of the necessary dependencies of this project are not fully implemented in `Golang` on `Windows`, so currently `NextTrace` is not available on `Windows` platform.

### Get Started

`NextTrace` uses the `ICMP` protocol to perform TraceRoute requests by default, which supports both `IPv4` and `IPv6`

```bash
# IPv4 ICMP Trace
nexttrace 1.0.0.1

# Form printing (output all hops at one time, wait 20-40 seconds)
nexttrace -table 1.0.0.1

# IPv6 ICMP Trace
nexttrace 2606:4700:4700::1111
```

`NextTrace` now supports quick testing, and friends who have a one-time backhaul routing test requirement can use it

```bash
# IPv4 ICMP Fast Test (Beijing + Shanghai + Guangzhou + Hangzhou) in China Telecom / Unicom / Mobile / Education Network
nexttrace -f

# You can also use TCP SYN for testing
nexttrace -f -T
```

`NextTrace` can also use `TCP` and `UDP` protocols to perform `Traceroute` requests, but these protocols only supports `IPv4` now

```bash
# TCP SYN Trace
nexttrace -T www.bing.com

# You can specify the port by yourself [here is 443], the default port is 80
nexttrace -T -p 443 1.0.0.1

# UDP Trace
nexttrace -U 1.0.0.1

nexttrace -U -p 53 1.0.0.1
```

`NextTrace` also supports some advanced functions, such as ttl control, concurrent probe packet count control, mode switching, etc.

```bash
# Send 2 probe packets per hop
nexttrace -q 2 www.hkix.net

# No concurrent probe packets, only one probe packet is sent at a time
nexttrace -r 1 www.hkix.net

# Start Trace with TTL of 5, end at TTL of 10
nexttrace -b 5 -m 10 www.decix.net

# Turn off the IP reverse parsing function
nexttrace -n www.bbix.net

# Feature: print Route-Path diagram
# Route-Path diagram example:
# AS6453 Tata Communication「Singapore『Singapore』」
#  ╭╯
#  ╰AS9299 Philippine Long Distance Telephone Co.「Philippines『Metro Manila』」
#  ╭╯
#  ╰AS36776 Five9 Inc.「Philippines『Metro Manila』」
#  ╭╯
#  ╰AS37963 Aliyun「ALIDNS.COM『ALIDNS.COM』」
nexttrace -report www.time.com.my
```

`NextTrace` supports users to select their own IP API (currently supports: `LeoMoeAPI`, `IP.SB`, `IPInfo`, `IPInsight`, `IPAPI.com`)

```bash
# You can specify the IP database by yourself [IP.SB here], if not specified, LeoMoeAPI will be used
nexttrace -d IP.SB
## Note that the ipinfo API needs users to purchase services from ipinfo. If necessary, you can clone this project, add the token provided by ipinfo and compile it yourself
## Fill the token to: ipgeo/tokens.go
## Please be aware: Due to the serious abuse of IP.SB, you will often be not able to query IP data from this source
## IPAPI.com has a stricter restiction on API calls, if you can't query IP data from this source, please try again in a few minutes.
```

`NextTrace` supports mixed parameters

```bash
Example:
nexttrace -d IPInsight -m 20 -p 443 -q 5 -r 20 -rdns 1.1.1.1
nexttrace -T -q 2 -r 1 -table -report 2001:4860:4860::8888
```

### For full usage list, please refer to the usage menu

```shell
Usage of nexttrace:
      'nexttrace [options] <hostname>' or 'nexttrace <hostname> [option...]'
Options:
  -T    Use TCP SYN for tracerouting (default port is 80)
  -U    Use UDP Package for tracerouting (default port is 53 in UDP)
  -V    Print Version
  -b int
        Set The Begin TTL (default 1)
  -d string
        Choose IP Geograph Data Provider [LeoMoeAPI, IP.SB, IPInfo, IPInsight, IPAPI.com] (default "LeoMoeAPI")
  -f    One-Key Fast Traceroute
  -m int
        Set the max number of hops (max TTL to be reached). (default 30)
  -n    Disable IP Reverse DNS lookup
  -p int
        Set SYN Traceroute Port (default 80)
  -q int
        Set the number of probes per each hop. (default 3)
  -r int
        Set ParallelRequests number. It should be 1 when there is a multi-routing. (default 18)
  -report
        Route Path
  -table
        Output trace results as table
```

## NextTrace Enhanced

`NextTrace Enhanced` is an enhanced version for enthusiasts, `Enhanced` provides trace route calls in the form of Web API and a simple Looking Glass webpage with built-in visualization.

The `Enhanced` version supports many functions that the `lite` version does not have, such as the ability to customize the timeout period, and the ability to specify TTL as the starting point for route tracking, etc. For ordinary users, the `lite` version is usually enough.
