Traceroute

Trace the network path to any hostname or IP address with real-time hop-by-hop results.

What is traceroute?

Traceroute discovers the sequence of routers (hops) between the server and the target by sending packets with incrementally increasing TTL (Time to Live) values. When a packet's TTL reaches zero, the router discards it and sends back an ICMP "Time Exceeded" message — revealing its IP address and response time.

Private IP addresses (RFC 1918) and hops that do not respond (* * *) cannot be geo-located and will show a dash in the location column.
