What is Mac TCP Watcher?

Mac TCP Watcher displays the internals of MacTCP or Open Transport, including a list of all the current TCP connections and information relating to these connections.   Mac TCP Watcher reports as many errors as possible so it can be used to test your TCP setup.

Mac TCP Watcher can test by sending UDP and TCP echos, and ICMP Ping packets.  The echo tests require a nice unix box to support the echo ports, so to get around this, Mac TCP Watcher has a UDP and TCP echo port server, so you can test it to yourself, as well as to other Macs running Mac TCP Watcher.  There is a function to test your DNS.  Finally Mac TCP Watcher has a Traceroute function which lets you determine the path your TCP packets are taking to a given destination.
