Traceroute is a command-line tool that can be used to identify all of the routing hops between two hosts by intentionally exceeding response time from every gateway to a destination. It's usefulness is shown when you need to find an intermediate server for information gathering, or for checking where in a network a site is failing or bottlenecking.
Performing a Traceroute
To perform from windows: from a command prompt type
| C:\WINDOWS\System32\cmd.exe |
| C:\WINDOWS\> tracert domain.com |
To perform in a Linux/Unix Terminal type
| Terminal |
| localhost:~ $ traceroute domain.com |
Example of Traceroute
Windows:
C:\Users\casey>tracert google.com
Tracing route to google.com [74.125.237.9] over a maximum of 30 hops:
1 6 ms 4 ms 1 ms 192.168.0.1 2 49 ms 33 ms 40 ms 123.123.123.123 3 84 ms 173 ms 107 ms 172.11.11.11 4 43 ms 84 ms 57 ms 172.22.22.22 5 * 70 ms 136 ms 110.110.110.110 6 86 ms 31 ms 33 ms 203.203.11.11 7 170 ms * 83 ms 203.203.22.22 8 117 ms 68 ms 88 ms 74.125.50.1 9 109 ms 69 ms 73 ms 66.249.50.1 10 85 ms 73 ms 152 ms 72.14.237.47 11 * 123 ms 107 ms 74.125.237.9
Trace complete.
