Traceroute uses ICMP packets to determine what the route internet traffic takes to reach its destination, recording each "hop" (where it goes through a router, hardware firewall or some other routing mechanism) along the way. It is most widely used as a troubleshooting tool to pinpoint which areas of a given network are causing problems. Windows has a similar command called 'tracert'
