What command used to trace the path from one networked node to another?

The command used to trace the path from one networked node to another is tracert on Windows and traceroute on Unix-like systems. These commands send packets to the destination and display each hop along the route, showing the IP addresses and response times for each intermediary node. This helps diagnose network connectivity issues and identify where delays may be occurring.
