Trace Route
Trace Route is a tool for finding errors in the network routing. It lists each router’s addresses on the way
to remote systems. If the path for the data packets is temporarily unavailable, the interruption is indicated
by asterisks (
*
). After a number of tries, the attempt is aborted. The interrupted connection can have
many causes, including the packet filter on the RouteFinder not allowing the operation of Trace Route.
Trace Route lists the path of the data packets all the way to the desired IP address. The path ends when
the destination address has been reached. Should the data packets' path momentarily not be traceable,
stars (
*
) appear to indicate a time-out. After a fixed number of time-outs, the attempt is aborted. This can
have various reasons (e.g., a packet filter doesn‘t allow Trace Route). If it is not possible to locate a name
despite activated name resolution, the IP address is shown after several attempts instead.
