Trace route is a command-line tool used to diagnose network issues. It is used to determine the route taken by packets across an IP network. Trace route works by sending a series of packets with varying time to live (TTL) values to the destination and listening for an ICMP “time exceeded” reply from each gateway along the path. The TTL is decremented as the packet passes through each gateway, and when it reaches zero, the gateway responds with an ICMP “time exceeded” reply. This reply contains the IP address of the gateway, which is used to calculate the route taken.
