+     "LFT, short for Layer Four Traceroute, is a @command{traceroute} tool
+that often works much faster (than the commonly-used Van Jacobson method) and
+goes through many configurations of packet-filters (firewalls).  More
+importantly, LFT implements numerous other features including AS number
+lookups through several reliable sources, loose source routing, netblock
+name lookups, and more.
+
+This package also contains WhoB, a likable @command{whois} client designed to
+provide everything a network engineer needs to know about a routed IP address
+by typing one line and reading one line.  It can display the origin-ASN based
+on the global routing table at that time (according to Prefix WhoIs, RIPE NCC,
+or Cymru), the \"origin\" ASN registered in the RADB (IRR), the netname and
+orgname, etc.")
