FWIW, Mtr measures latency/delay and loss based on ICMP messages heard back from the routers on path. As a result, in almost all cases, the real hop-by-hop latency of actual end-to-end data packets is better than it can report.

mtr has a recently added '-u' option to use UDP instead of ICMP echo requests.
