Traditional traceroute is a widely used and very useful tool, but it struggles to accurately trace load-balanced networks. In this episode, Dr. Justin Rohrer joins us to talk about Paris traceroute, an extension of traditional traceroute, and how it's used to trace paths on a network that uses flow-based load balancing, or in other words, most of the internet. Learn more about Paris traceroute in Phil's blog post, <a href="https://www.kentik.com/blog/the-power-of-paris-traceroute-for-modern-load-balanced-networks/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The Power of Paris Traceroute for Modern Load-Balanced Networks</a>.

Justin P. Rohrer, PhD., currently develops Internet-scale network measurement, monitoring, and analysis systems at Kentik.  His career as a network engineer began in the late 90s, which was followed by an academic role as a computer science professor and a decade leading a research lab focused on improving network resilience and survivability, during which he published over 50 scientific papers and articles in the field.  As part of his study of Internet resilience, Dr. Rohrer has run more than 100 Billion paris-style traceroutes.
