Versions:
HopMatrix is a portable, single-executable, cross-platform network analysis platform published by RedEye Network Solutions LLC, designed for visual multi-path traceroute, network monitoring, and analysis tasks. The software is currently at version 1.19.0, with 27 versions released to date, reflecting an actively maintained development history. HopMatrix is organized around eight operational modes—Trace, Monitor, iPerf, OUI/MAC Lookup, Routing Analyzer, SNMP, Multicast and L2 Inspector, plus Quick Tools—supplemented by a Tools menu of utility dialogs that open over whichever mode is on screen, allowing technicians to access helper functions without leaving their current workflow. Its Trace mode provides continuous multi-path traceroute with real-time topology visualization, enabling users to observe how routes across a network change over time rather than relying on single-point-in-time path snapshots. The Monitor mode supports fleet monitoring of up to 256 endpoints, making it suitable for tracking availability and performance across distributed infrastructure. For bandwidth and throughput assessment, the iPerf mode offers iperf3-compatible bandwidth testing, while the SNMP mode handles SNMP v1/v2c/v3 discovery for identifying and interrogating managed network devices across all three commonly deployed protocol versions. The Multicast and L2 Inspector mode delivers multicast, CDP, and LLDP analysis for examining Layer 2 behavior and multicast traffic on a segment, and the OUI/MAC Lookup and Routing Analyzer modes round out the toolkit for address identification and route examination. Because the platform ships as a single portable executable with cross-platform support, it can be carried and run without installation, which suits field engineers, network administrators, and support staff who need diagnostic capability on varied systems. HopMatrix falls within the network utilities and network monitoring and analysis software category, combining path diagnostics, device discovery, link-layer inspection, and performance measurement in one integrated toolset.
