![]() Traceroute is available on most modern machines. The command sends out three probes by default for each TTL value and prints out the round-trip time for each packet. Then, traceroute recognizes the destination IP and outputs all the intermediate information gathered. The iterative process repeats until the final package reaches the destination IP. This way, the packet reaches the next router in the network. The source gathers the intermediate router information, resets the TTL value to 1, and increments it. When a router receives the information, it decrements the TTL value to 0, indicating it should send information back to the source. To gather the information available between the source and destination, a traceroute lowers the packet's TTL (time to live) to a minimum (1). While ping requests a response from the destination, traceroute gathers the intermediate information as well. Traceroute acts as a series of ping commands.
