routemet

routemet is a command-line utility designed to help users visualize and analyze network routes. It provides a more interactive and detailed view of routing information than standard operating system tools. The primary function of routemet is to display the current routing table of a machine in a structured and often graphical format.

This tool can be particularly useful for network administrators, developers, and anyone troubleshooting network connectivity issues. By presenting routing information clearly, routemet allows users to identify potential bottlenecks, understand how traffic is being directed, and diagnose problems related to packet forwarding.

routemet typically fetches data directly from the operating system's network stack. It may offer features such as real-time updates, filtering of routes based on various criteria, and the ability to export routing data for further analysis. The specific output format can vary, but often includes details like destination network, gateway, interface, metric, and route flags.

While standard tools like `route` or `ip route` provide raw routing data, routemet aims to enhance usability and comprehension. Its interactive nature can simplify the process of dissecting complex routing configurations, making it a valuable addition to a network troubleshooting toolkit.
