Traceroute Command for Linux By Juergen Haas. The traceroute command maps the journey that a packet of information undertakes from its source to its destination. One use for traceroute is to locate when data loss occurs throughout a network, which could signify a node that's down. Because each hop in the record reflects a new server or router between the originating PC and the intended target, reviewing the results of a traceroute scan identifies slow points that may adversely affect your network traffic. The only parameter you must include when you execute the traceroute command is the host name or IP address of the destination. Traceroute uses the IP protocol time to live field to solicit an ICMP TIME_EXCEEDED response from each gateway along the path to a destination host.
