What is MTR?
MTR is software used for network diagnostics, that combines the functions of ping and traceroute.
It helps you determine the trace a packet needs to take from your device to the destination server, but it also sends multiple packets over time (usually one every second) and keeps track of the response times. Additionally, it records packet loss over the route.
Using MTR, you are able to identify bad connection between two given points as well as determine any latency issues or packet loss.
Blog.layershift.com is used for this tutorial, however to determine network issues when connecting to your domain�s server, simply replace blog.layershift.com with your server ip (without the port).
How to use MTR on Windows
