Trace Route

Similar to the ping utility, the tracert command is available on any typical network computer. This utility will report each step or ‘hop’ between the source and target system. When poor response times are affecting network performance, the tracert tool can help identify if a particular hop is causing the delays. Tracert will return response times in milliseconds similar to ping, which responses listed for each step along the path from source to destination.
