| 47 | <para> |
| 48 | This program has long history. Author of <command/traceroute/ |
| 49 | is Van Jacobson and it first appeared in 1988. This clone is |
| 50 | based on a port of <command/traceroute/ to IPv6 published |
| 51 | in NRL IPv6 distribution in 1996. In turn, it was ported |
| 52 | to Linux by Pedro Roque. After this it was kept in sync by |
| 53 | <ulink url="mailto:kuznet@ms2.inr.ac.ru">Alexey Kuznetsov |
| 54 | <kuznet@ms2.inr.ac.ru></ulink>. And eventually entered |
| 55 | <command/iputils/ package. |
