Tracert is a command like ping . Tracert means trace route and it does the same. Tracert traces the route of the message from source to destination.
tracert is a great command line utility. A tracert traces the route of a request over an IP network; usually an internet connection.
FROM your computer if you open a command promt and type
tracert www.Google.com
then hit enter you will see a series of lines that display an IP address followed by a time in milliseconds. This is the amount of time your PING request took from your computer to that destination, all the way to your final destination address.
With a TraceRT you can see all of the HOPS (Router interface points) a request takes from your machine to the final destination. In addition you see a round trip time of the data packet for each hop. If you are having connectivity problems or slow responses this can also help you determine where in the request the lag is comming from.
tracert is the perfect function for you. E.x: CMD { tracert 192.168.1.1 } That will allow you to see where your data packet has traveled. The 192.168.1.1 is only an example. Hope this answer has helped you! :D
the network path to a destination
PING, Netstat & Tracert
Tracert lists the places that a message passes from source to destination. Ping only says the computer destination is answering "yes, I'm here."
if say you did tracert google.com it would bring the web address in number form. very helpful for getting past school firewalls. I am not a hacker btw. ANd the question should be what does a tracert command do?
tracert -a
Press CTRL - C and it it will stop the tracert.
