-%description
-TCPtraceroute is a traceroute implementation using TCP packets.
-
-The problem is that with the widespread use of firewalls on the modern
-Internet, many of the packets that the conventional traceroute(8) sends
-out (ICMP echo or UDP) end up being filtered, making it impossible to
-completely trace the path to the destination. By sending out TCP SYN packets
-instead of UDP or ICMP ECHO packets, tcptraceroute is able to bypass the most
-common firewall filters.
