Traceroute Test
Parameters
Target
Type the IP address or domain name (such as www.example.com) of a
device that you want to traceroute in order to test a connection.
Max Hops Specify the maximum number of hops the traceroute takes before the
process ends. A hop is connection from one router or intermediate
device to another on a network. The more hops there are, the longer it
takes for data to reach its destination.
Data Size Specify the number of data packet bytes the ZyXEL Device sends on the
traceroute. The default is 40 bytes (32 bytes of data plus 8 bytes for the
header). If you need to determine the Maximum Transmission Unit
(MTU) size TCP/IP connection, change this setting. Otherwise leave it as
the default.
Base Port This field is not enabled as of this writing.
Resolve Host Select On to resolved all IP addresses returned by the traceroute to
their domain names.
