Trace Route

Trace Route displays the path and measures the delay of the packet across an IP network. The path of

the packet is recorded as the round-trip time received from each remote node in the path. The sum of the

mean times in each hop indicates the total time spent to establish the connection. Select the Enable

button to add this test to the Ping Test. The Trace Route settings are now displayed.

Select the Type button to toggle through UDP, TCP SYN or ICMP packet. This can help identify incorrect

routing table definitions or firewalls that may be blocking ICMP traffic, or high port UDP in Unix ping, to a

site. A firewall may permit ICMP packets but no other packets.

The hop count refers to the intermediate devices through which data must pass between the PingerPro

and target device. Each router along the path constitutes as a hop. Set the Max Hop limit by selecting the

Max Hop button and entering in a number. Select OK.
