1) if you’re on (most modern distributions of) linux, forget that `route(1)` even exists (and throw `ifconfig` out in the same go) because it’s just absolutely frustrating. for probably 98% of what you need, `ip(1)` is the cool you care about
generally speaking, these will cover you: `ip route`, `ip address`, `ip link`
2) when dealing with routing problems (​*even if just two hosts next to each other*​), `mtr` > `traceroute` > `ping` is an order that’s useful for a lot of what you need
mtr is nice because you can just let it keep running. press `d` in its display to get a running history breakdown of packets. fantastic for intermittent issues!
traceroute is generally known already, but depending on the complexity of your networks in question you may want `traceroute-nanog` or similar other ones. some of these are ASN-aware, which is useful.
in the same breath as traceroute, something else that’s useful to know about is `tracepath`
it’s a little bit nicer on finding asymm paths
lastly, `ping` ​*is*​ still usef
