Traceroute
traceroute
The traceroute command is a networking diagnostics tool available for Linux, macOS, and Windows. The command tracks the route that packets take to reach a destination on a TCP/IP network. Use the command to discover routing issues and bottlenecks by showing a packet's intermediate hops while traveling from source to destination.
The default trace is 30 hops with a packet size of 60 bytes for IPv4 (80 bytes for IPv6).
