Tracert/traceroute tool
- Traceroute is a command which can show you the actual path of a packet of information that is transmitted from one computer to another computer.
- If once the ping utility has been used to determine basic connectivity, the tracert/traceroute utility can used to determine more specific information about the path to the destination host including the route the packet takes and the response time of these intermediate hosts.
Great breakdown of how traceroute helps in diagnosing network paths and delays. It is one of those simple yet powerful tools every networking student should practice with. For those working on multimedia or projects alongside networking, tools like subtitle edit for linux can also be really handy in managing workflows across platforms.
