Traceroute Test: Visualize Network Path

Our Traceroute Test tool allows you to visualize the path your data takes from your computer to a destination server. This can help identify network bottlenecks and troubleshoot connectivity issues.

How Traceroute Works

Traceroute works by sending packets with incrementing Time To Live (TTL) values. Each router along the path decrements the TTL. When it reaches zero, the router sends back an ICMP Time Exceeded message. This allows traceroute to map the path to the destination.

Uses of Traceroute

• Network Troubleshooting: Identify where packet loss or latency is occurring in a network path.
• Performance Optimization: Understand the route your data takes and optimize for better performance.
• Security Analysis: Detect unexpected routing behavior that could indicate security issues.
• Educational Purposes: Learn about internet infrastructure and how data travels across networks.
