The sender expects a reply within a specified number of seconds. The timestamp values returned for each router along the path are the delay ( latency) values, typically measured in milliseconds for each packet. Proceeding in this way, traceroute uses the returned ICMP Time Exceeded messages to build a list of routers that packets traverse, until the destination is reached and returns an ICMP Destination Unreachable message if UDP packets are being used or an ICMP Echo Reply message if ICMP Echo messages are being used. The next set of packets are given a TTL value of two, so the first router forwards the packets, but the second router drops them and replies with ICMP Time Exceeded.
The router sends an ICMP Time Exceeded message back to the source. For the first set of packets, the first router receives the packet, decrements the TTL value and drops the packet because it then has TTL value zero. Routers decrement TTL values of packets by one when routing and discard packets whose TTL value has reached zero, returning the ICMP error message ICMP Time Exceeded. Traceroute sends packets with TTL values that gradually increase from packet to packet, starting with TTL value of one. The time-to-live (TTL) value, also known as hop limit, is used in determining the intermediate routers being traversed towards the destination. On Windows, tracert sends ICMP Echo Request packets, rather than the UDP packets traceroute sends by default. On Unix-like operating systems, traceroute sends, by default, a sequence of User Datagram Protocol (UDP) packets, with destination port numbers ranging from 33434 to 33534 the implementations of traceroute shipped with Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, DragonFly BSD, and macOS include an option to use ICMP Echo Request packets ( -I), or any arbitrary protocol ( -P) such as UDP, TCP using TCP SYN packets, or ICMP. The ReactOS version was developed by Ged Murphy and is licensed under the GPL. Windows NT-based operating systems also provide PathPing, with similar functionality. Microsoft Windows and ReactOS provide a program named tracert that performs the same route-tracing function. Traceroute is also graphically accessible in macOS within the Network Utilities suite.
On Unix-like systems such as FreeBSD, macOS, and Linux it is available as a command line tool. The command traceroute is available on many modern operating systems. Ping, on the other hand, only computes the final round-trip times from the destination point.įor Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6) the tool sometimes has the name traceroute6 and tracert6. Traceroute proceeds unless all (usually three) sent packets are lost more than twice then the connection is lost and the route cannot be evaluated. The history of the route is recorded as the round-trip times of the packets received from each successive host (remote node) in the route (path) the sum of the mean times in each hop is a measure of the total time spent to establish the connection. In computing, traceroute and tracert are computer network diagnostic commands for displaying possible routes (paths) and measuring transit delays of packets across an Internet Protocol (IP) network.
