     48 This program has long history. Author of <command/traceroute/
     49 is Van Jacobson and it first appeared in 1988. This clone is
     50 based on a port of <command/traceroute/ to IPv6 published
     51 in NRL IPv6 distribution in 1996. In turn, it was ported
     52 to Linux by Pedro Roque. After this it was kept in sync by

     54 &lt;kuznet (a] ms2.inr.ac.ru&gt;</ulink>. And eventually entered
