Portable WinMTR

Portable WinMTR is a software utility which combines the functionality of Traceroute and Ping commands, so as to test traffic between your computer and a host.

Since this is the portable counterpart of WinMTR, you can easily skip the installation process and therefore, this tool is not going to update the Windows registry with new entries.

In addition to that, you should know that it is possible to run Portable WinMTR on any computer you have access to, by simply placing the program files to a USB flash drive or other similar portable storage device.

The interface sports a design which closely resembles the one used in the Windows 98 and 95 operating systems, yet it is well organized. Aside from that, the app is accessible even to people with no experience.

You can write in the host’s name or IP address and click the “Start” button in order to view information about the network traffic. Results are going to be displayed with information such as ID number, percentage of lost packets, as well as best, average, last and worst ping time values, send and received packets.

All this data can be exported to TXT or HTML, so that users can analyze it at a later date. In the settings panel, it is possible to adjust the interval (expressed in seconds), ping size (bytes) and maximum host in LRU list.

There are no Help contents provided, yet they are not actually necessary, when considering how easy it is to use the utility.

To conclude, Portable WinMTR is an efficient piece of software, as it does not require many computer resources, it has a good response time and provides useful information regarding network traffic.
