Traceroute Tool

Trace the network path to any server worldwide

About Traceroute

Traceroute is a network diagnostic tool that shows the path packets take from your computer to a destination server. It displays each hop (intermediate server) along the way and the time it takes to reach each one.

Hop Number

The sequential number of each server in the path. Hop 1 is your gateway, higher numbers are farther away.

IP Address

The IP address of the server at that hop. Shows where the packet is being routed through.

Latency

Time in milliseconds for a packet to reach that hop and return. Lower is better. "* * *" means no response.

Reading Results

Green hops are local network, yellow are regional, red are distant. If you see timeouts, the server may block ICMP.
