Describe the traceroute tool.

What will be an ideal response?


The traceroute tool, as its name implies, records the route between any two hosts on a network. On the surface, traceroute is something like ping in that it sends a single packet to another host, but as it progresses, it returns information about every router between them. Every operating system comes with traceroute, but the actual command varies among them. In Windows, the command is tracert.
