Tracert

• The tracert (traceroute) command identifies each stop IP packets take on the way from your computer to another website or server.

Tracert command syntax

• Tracert [-d] [-h maximum-hops] [-j host-list] [-w timeout] [-R] [-S srcaddr] [-4] [-6]

• Tracert -d: This option prevents tracert from resolving IP addresses to hostnames, often resulting in much faster results.

• Tracert -h maximum-hops: This tracert option specifies the maximum number of hops in the search for the target. If you do not specify maximum-hops, and target has not been found by 30 hops, tracert will stop looking.

• Tracert -w timeout: You can specify the time, in milliseconds, to allow each reply before timeout using this tracert option.

• Tracert -4: This option forces tracert to use IPv4 only.

• Tracert -6: This option forces tracert to use IPv6 only.

• Tracert -j host-list: This option loose source route along host-list (IPv4-only).

• Tracert -R: This option Trace round-trip path (IPv6-only).
