Traceroute command – definition

The Traceroute command is a basic command-line program that displays each hop of a query from your machine to the destination – an IP address or a domain name. It calculates a probe’s route and returns the result.

The query will traverse the Internet, passing from one router to the next until it reaches its destination. Your computer will send packets to each hop and get responses to them. In this way, you’ll get data for each of the points along the trip, from your device to the destination.
