"traceroute -P tcp"...?  :-)

The modern BSD traceroute supports all of:

        -P     Send packets of specified IP protocol. The  currently   
supported
               protocols  are: UDP, TCP, GRE and ICMP. Other  
protocols may also
               be specified (either by name or by  number),  though   
traceroute
               does  not  implement  any special knowledge of their  
packet for-
               mats. This option is useful for determining which  
router along a
               path  may  be  blocking packets based on IP protocol  
number. But
               see BUGS below.
