For this case the firewalls DO respond to TTL(in most cases) and will show =
in a traceroute. The objective here is to colorize particular devices to ea=
sily see what type of devices traffic would traverse across the network. I =
would be using a database of device hostnames that when they match in trace=
route they would be printed a particular color. Something like router=3Dgre=
en, layer 3 switch yellow, and firewall red. I'm just looking for a basic s=
cript to accomplish this. Nothing too fancy.
