It's probably tricky but if there's loss at D, maybe only then materialize the display of the loss backwards until there is no loss: C? B? A? It gets tricky though where maybe there is a small loss at D, but say that C and B have chronic loss because of throttling in the slow path responses.

If D has 1% loss and B and C have 50%, is it fair to say A=0, B=1%, C=1%, D=1%?

MTR display of loss is indeed confusing, but when weird things are going on it can be helpful just stare at it a while to see what's going on. Trippy looks fantastic, and I need to play with it, but there are cases where I just want to stare at the path loss for a while.

There's no way to influence the TTL on TTL timed-out responses, is there? That'd be pretty cool if there were some way to get the return path of the intermediaries to reply.

Thanks for that, I'll give this some thought and write a proposal in this [0] placeholder issue.
