Tracert lists the places that a message passes from source to destination. Ping only says the computer destination is answering "yes, I'm here." Traceroute is like when you are making directions for friends to come to your house as you ride the route - "Turn right on 5th, left on 10th, 640 north, left on highway 251" Ping is a phone call where the other person picks up and says "I'm home" then hangs up.

What does tracert commands test?

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 typetracert www.google.comthen 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.
