Linux Traceroute Guide
The usual methods for routing tracing in Linux involve using either the traceroute command or the tcptraceroute command. Both commands can be used to track the path of data packets and display the network nodes the packets pass through during transmission. Below are examples of using the traceroute command and the tcptraceroute command.
- Use the traceroute command:
traceroute www.example.com
- Use the tcptraceroute command:
tcptraceroute www.example.com
This command will display the path of the data packets from the local host to the target host, as well as the latency information of each network node. This information can help users understand the network nodes that the data packets pass through during transmission, and identify any potential issues in the network.
