  + Generic Extension Objects
  + MPLS Label Stacks
* Unprivileged mode
* Tui interface:
  + Trace multiple targets simultaneously from a single instance of Trippy

  + Per hop round-trip-time (RTT) history and frequency distributing charts
  + Interactive chart of RTT for all hops in a trace with zooming capability
  + Interactive GeoIp world map
  + Isolate and filter by individual tracing flows
  + Customizable color theme & key bindings
  + Configuration via both command line arguments and a configuration file

  + Responsive UI with adjustable refresh rate
  + Hop privacy
* DNS:
  + Use system, external (Google `8.8.8.8` or Cloudflare `1.1.1.1`) or custom resolver
  + Lazy reverse DNS queries
  + Lookup [autonomous system](<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autonomous_system_(Internet)>) number (ASN) and name
* GeoIp:
  + Lookup and display GeoIp information from local `mmdb` files
* Generate tracing reports:
  + `json`, `csv` & tabular (pretty-printed and markdown)
  + Tracing `flows` report
  + Graphviz `dot` charts
  + configurable reporting cycles
* Runs on multiple platform (macOS, Linux, NetBSD, FreeBSD, Windows)
* Capabilities aware application (Linux only)

This package auto-connects to the following snap interfaces:

* `network`: to allow general outgoing network access

## Enable snaps on Kubuntu and install trippy

Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.

Snaps are discoverable and installable from the [Snap Store](https://snapcraft.io/store), an app store with an audience of millions.

### Enable snapd

If you’re running [Kubuntu 16.04 LTS (Xenial Xerus)](https://kubuntu.org/) or later, including [Kubuntu 18.04 LTS (Bionic Beaver)](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BionicBeaver/ReleaseNotes/Kubuntu) and [Kubuntu 18.10 (Cosmic Cuttlefish)](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CosmicCuttlefish/ReleaseNotes/Kubuntu), you don’t need to do anything. Snap is already installed and ready to go.

Versions of Kubuntu between [14.04 LTS (Trusty Tahr)](https://kubuntu.org/news/kubuntu-14-04-lts) and [15.10 (Wily Werewolf)](https://kubuntu.org/news/kubuntu-15-10) don’t include *snap* by default, but *snap* can be installed from the command line as follows:

```
sudo apt update
sudo apt install snapd
```
