Description

Traceroute is a TCP/IP protocol-based utility, which allows user to determine how packets are

being routed to a particular host. Traceroute works by increasing the time-to-live value of packets

and seeing how far they get until they reach the given destination; thus, a lengthening trail of hosts

passed through is built up.

Traceroute shows the number of hops to the given host address of every passed gateway. Traceroute

utility sends packets three times to each passed gateway so it shows three timeout values for each

gateway in ms.
