Have you ever thought how a domain can be accessed by a computer? How come when you open www.safelink.asia in a web browser it will immediately appear? Every internet package must have its own path to reach its destination. This can be tracked using Traceroute. With Traceroute, you can see how internet packets are going until they reach the destination you want to achieve. According to Wikipedia , Traceroute(Tracert) is a command to indicate the route that a packet takes to reach its destination. Traceroute functions to trace traces on Internet protocol (IP) packets and to find out the path of packets from one network to another.
You can do Traceroute on several operating systems, both Windows and Linux
.
Please open Command Prompt (cmd) in Windows. Then type,
tracert domainname / IP
For example,
C: \ Users> tracert KincaiHosting.com
Then the output is
Tracing route to KincaiHosting.com [139.162.55.180]
over a maximum of 30 hops:
1 <1 ms <3 ms <2 ms 192.168.42.129
2 50 ms 110 ms 52 ms 180,240,204.41
3 87 ms 95 ms 92 ms 27,111. 228,235
4 79 ms 65 ms 147 ms 139.162.0.14
5 81 ms 55 ms 54 ms 139.162.55.180
Trace complete.
If it says Trace complete, it means the package tracking process is complete.
Please open a linux terminal. Then type,
tracert domainname / IP
For example,
$ tracert KincaiHosting.com
Then the output is
Tracing route to KincaiHosting.com [139.162.55.180]
over a maximum of 30 hops:
1 <1 ms <2 ms <4 ms 192.168.42.129
2 50 ms 110 ms 52 ms 180,240,204.41
3 87 ms 95 ms 92 ms 27,111. 228,235
4 79 ms 65 ms 147 ms 139.162.0.14
5 81 ms 55 ms 54 ms 139.162.55.180
Trace complete.
Actually, how to use Traceroute on both Windows and Linux is the same. Only using the tracert command, the path of the internet packet to a destination address is traced. With this internet packet tracking, you can find out which points the package passes to get to its destination. For those of you Mac OS users don't worry. You can also perform traceroute on Mac OS according to the Guide to How to Traceroute on Mac OS which is in Our guide.
