From MacUpdate:

"WhatRoute is designed to find the names of all the routers an IP packet passes through on its way from your Macintosh to a destination host. It also measures the round-trip time from your Mac to the router, thus enabling you to determine slow links--or hops--in the Internet. WhatRoute can also find dead links, such as routers that don't respond. This program is optimized for use with Open Transport."

Interesting....

Just use traceroute <remote-host> in Terminal.

There are a couple of nifty Windows apps that trace routes and charts them live on a world map. Really neat.

Anyone stumbled across something similar for Macintosh?

http://visualroute.visualware.com has a free Java applet. It didn't use to require registration; I don't know when they started that, ugh.
