    Paratrace? (Part of the Paketto package from http://www.doxpara.com/)

    To quote the release information of it..

      Paratrace traces the path between a client and a server, much like
      "traceroute", but with a major twist: Rather than iterate the TTLs of UDP,
      ICMP, or even TCP SYN packets, paratrace attaches itself to an existing,
      stateful- firewall-approved TCP flow, statelessly releasing as many TCP
      Keepalive messages as the software estimates the remote host is
      hop-distant. The resultant ICMP Time Exceeded replies are analyzed, with
      their original hopcount "tattooed" in the IPID field copied into the
      returned packets by so many helpful routers. Through this process,
      paratrace can trace a route without modulating a single byte of TCP/Layer
      4, and thus delivers fully valid (if occasionally redundant) segments at
      Layer 4 -- segments generated by another process entirely.
