[c-nsp] Something like MTR, but forced path

[Tuc at T-B-O-H.NET]

Hi,

	This isn't really a Cisco question, but thought people
here might have a better clue. Basically, I need a program like
MTR (Example on the bottom) for Unix, but instead of it showing
what the routed hops are, I want to force what items it believes
are along the way.

        Problem we have is a small wireless network is basically flat, not
networked. There are 10 pieces of equipment between 2 machines. However,
they are both on the same subnet, so it just looks like it only needs to 
hop once. Instead, it goes from the router, to a client antenna (IP'd),
to an Access Point (IP'd), to a switch (IP'd), to a backhaul (IP'd), to
another backhaul(IP'd)... You get the jist. I basically want to force the
system to believe my path, not what routed networking tells it.

		Thanks, Tuc
