+
+## What it is
+
+mtr shows the path your traffic takes to another host and keeps measuring it: for each router along the way it shows packet loss and response times, updated continuously. It's the quickest way to see where a slow or dropping connection goes wrong.
+
+```

+
+## Why it's here
+
+- **Find the bad hop.** See whether a problem is your Wi-Fi, your ISP or further away.
+- **Live view.** Statistics build up over time instead of a single snapshot.
+
+## On CoreDesktop
+
+mtr is installed from pacman. Type `mtr` in a terminal. `update` keeps it current along with the rest of the pacman packages.
