It doesn't sound like a small program at all.. It has several parts to
it in fact.
First part would be to run traceroute from Java, or at least capture
the output of it. The second part would be to parse that output into
something useful. The third part would be to use that data to
construct a topology of the network in memory. And the final part
would be to display that information in a visual way.
