VisualRoute is available in seven specialized editions - Feature comparison chart

• Tabbed Display
  
  Multi-tabbed design provides quick access to multiple connectivity and PingGrapher™ tests in a single view, a simple click on a tab provides easy navigation of open reports.
• Multiple Maps
  
  Choose from three popular map displays, including physical and political map options.
• Browser Shortcut
  
  Trace the web site in your browser with a simple click on the Internet Explorer or Firefox toolbar, see the actual IP routing path to the web server, the Whois information for the domain, and estimated geographical location of the server.

• NEW! IPv6 Compatible
  IPv6 is the next generation of IP addresses, and IPv6 networks will be introduced with growing frequency until they are the norm. VisualRoute 2008 traces IPv6 addresses, reporting the route, latency, packet loss, whois lookups and network provider.
• Graphical View of Traceroute, Ping, Reverse DNS Connectivity Analysis
  
  Results from several essential network diagnostic tools are integrated into an overall connectivity report, providing a graphical view of connection performance report including packet loss and latency for each network hop. Drill-down detail is easily visible with a mouse over any network hop.
• Trace to any Remote IP address or Domain from the VisualRoute desktop
  
  Test connectivity from the VisualRoute desktop to any web server, IP address or network device. Get an instant report of the entire route and each network segment, see where data is being lost or excessive latency occurs. And by combining multiple network diagnostic tools in one easy to interface, VisualRoute provides a complete picture of connectivity performance -- with much faster results than traditional tools.
• IP Location Reporting
  
  The physical geographical locations of network servers and routers is key information for understanding routing problems, viewing the actual route path on global map provides an instant of picture of routing efficiency and distances.
• Network Provider Reporting
  
  See the contact information for the company providing Internet access for each hop of a network route, so you can easily report network problems.
• Domain Whois Reporting
  
  Get instant lookups of domain information from worldwide databases, so you can see the registered ‘owner’ of an IP address or domain..
• Network Peering Points
  See where network peering points are located on the connection route to help identify high-risk routing devices.
• ICMP & UDP Traceroutes
  
  ICMP is the standard diagnostic vehicle for traceroute reporting. UDP is an application protocol, UDP traceroutes extend the ICMP traceroute capability through a more accurate depiction of application routing and more ‘firewall friendly’ traces. VisualRoute's intelligent protocol selection system automatically switches from ICMP to UDP traceroutes where required.
