A traceroute is a function which traces the path from one network to another. It allows us to diagnose the source of many problems. A traceroute will tell you how many routers your packets travel through, and how long it takes for them to travel between routers. If the routers have DNS entries, traceroute will list the names of the routers. To be effective, the traceroute should be run during a time when you are experiencing a problem.
