<citerefentry><refentrytitle/traceroute/<manvolnum/8/</citerefentry>,
all the references to IP replaced to IPv6. It is needless to copy
the description from there.

<refsect1><title>HISTORY</title>
<para>
This program has long history. Author of <command/traceroute/
is Van Jacobson and it first appeared in 1988. This clone is
based on a port of <command/traceroute/ to IPv6 published
in NRL IPv6 distribution in 1996. In turn, it was ported
to Linux by Pedro Roque. After this it was kept in sync by    
<ulink url="mailto:kuznet@ms2.inr.ac.ru">Alexey Kuznetsov
&lt;kuznet@ms2.inr.ac.ru&gt;</ulink>. And eventually entered
<command/iputils/ package.
