The Tracert command is used to show a graphical representation of the route taken by packets across an IP network. It can be used to identify the source and destination of the data packets and also the time taken for each hop from one point to another.
To use the Tracert command, open the command prompt and type “tracert” followed by the address of the destination. A list of the hops that the packet takes to reach its destination will be displayed. To interrupt the command you can press CTRL+C.
The tracert command is used to trace the path from the source to the destination across an IP network. It is used to determine the route that the packets take between two hosts and measure the transit delays of each hop.
To use the tracert command, open the Command Prompt (CMD) on your Windows system. At the prompt type:
tracert [hostname or IP address]
Replace [hostname or IP address] with the name or IP address of the host you want to trace. Press Enter and the tracert command will start to trace the path from your computer to the destination. It will show the IP address and hop count for each router or gateway along the way.
