The CNA active-measurement system will embed identifying data in each traceroute UDP packet sent in support of an active measurement probe of type traceprobe.

You can change the value of part of this data to contain your own information (such as a name and e-mail address), by changing the value of text. The string “PathContrl” will also be sent with your text, along with host and domain information, if you have configured these. It will be in the form:

	PathContrl <host>.<domain> <text>
 

If the data contains spaces, enclose the entire string in quote marks.
