Page 8 – tracert. » Microsoft implementation (traceroute = Unix, Linux, and OS X). » Traces the route between two nodes. » Uses ICMP requests. » Logs responses from routers. » The utility has limited usability, as many routers block ICMP requests. » Basic command format: • You can tracert XXX.XXX.XXX to find the route to a destination. • You can also use a human friendly address (e.g., www.google.com) with tracert to find the route. » The behavior of tracert can be modified; once in tracert, type “/?” to get a list of available modifiers.
