On Windows, open Command Prompt (cmd) and type 'tracert destination'. For example: tracert google.com. Windows uses the tracert command instead of traceroute.

💡 Usage Tips

  • Click the copy button to quickly copy the command to clipboard
  • Some systems may require administrator privileges to run traceroute commands
  • You can add parameters to customize tracing behavior, such as setting maximum hops or timeout
  • If the command doesn't exist, you may need to install the corresponding network tools package first

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions and answers about traceroute

What is Traceroute?

Traceroute is a network diagnostic tool that shows the path packets take from your computer to a destination server. It helps you understand network connectivity issues, latency sources, and routing paths.

Why do some hops show * * *?

* * * indicates that the router didn't respond to ICMP requests. This could be because the router is configured not to respond to ping requests, or a firewall is blocking ICMP traffic. This is normal and doesn't indicate a connection failure.

How to use Traceroute on Windows?

On Windows, open Command Prompt (cmd) and type 'tracert destination'. For example: tracert google.com. Windows uses the tracert command instead of traceroute.

How to use Traceroute on Linux?

In Linux terminal, use the 'traceroute destination' command. For example: traceroute google.com. Most Linux distributions have traceroute installed by default.

How to use Traceroute on Mac?

On Mac, open Terminal application and type 'traceroute destination'. For example: traceroute google.com. Mac OS includes the traceroute tool by default.

What is Round Trip Time (RTT)?

Round Trip Time is the time it takes for a packet to travel from source to destination and back, measured in milliseconds (ms). RTT helps identify network latency and performance issues.

Why do different hops have different latencies?

Different hop latencies are normal and depend on geographical distance, router performance, network load, and connection types. Generally, greater distances result in higher latency.

What's the difference between Traceroute and Ping?

Ping tests connectivity and latency to a target host, while Traceroute shows the complete path packets take to reach the target. Traceroute provides more detailed network path information.

What is the hop limit?

The hop limit is the maximum number of routers Traceroute will attempt to reach the target. The default is usually 30 hops. If the target isn't reached before the limit, tracing stops.

How to interpret Traceroute results?

Each line shows one hop, containing hop number, IP address, hostname (if available), and three round-trip time measurements. Unusually high latencies or timeouts may indicate network issues.
