Author here, thanks for posting this (i’d meant to do a show HN post at some point).

Trippy is a modern, cross platform, feature rich alternative to MTR with a fancy TUI. And yes, it’s written in Rust.

Wondering if you took a look at or took some inspiration from the packet structures for TWAMP/TWAMP-LITE/SDLM RFCs for round trip times/packet loss measurements or if you sort of winged it and came up with your own. I've been meaning to learn rust by implementing those protocols.

For the RTT and loss% measurements Trippy just does the obvious thing (i.e. RTT = recv time - send time and loss% = lost / total_sent).

There is a plan [0] to add custom columns to Trippy and then to add various jitter measurements [1].

Thanks for pointing out the above RFCs, I'll take a look at those and see if they make sense to add to Trippy.
