Prints a trace of the route IP packets are travelling to a remote host.
- Traceroute (by default) sends UDP packets to a target host and wait for the ICMP replies
- Traceroute sends three datagrams for each value for the TTL field, printing a diagnostic line of output for these
- The TTL field is then steadily increased until the intended host responds
- In case there is no response within a time period of five seconds, an asterisque ‘*’ is printed
Implemented options:
-f <first_ttl> Start from the first_ttl hop (default is 1) [1-250]
-h print help and exit
-m <max_ttl> Set the max number of hops (default is 30) [1-255]
-N <squeries> Set the number of probes to be tried simultaneously (default is 16) [1-100]
-n Do not resolve IP addresses to their domain names
-p <port> Set the destination port to use (default is 33434) [1-65535]
-q <nqueries> Set the number of probes per each hop (default is 3) [1-10]
