Traceroute IP Address

Tracert, also known as traceroute, is a network diagnostic tool used to track the path of data packets from one network to another. It is a useful tool for troubleshooting network issues and identifying network latency.

To tracert an IP address, follow these steps:

1. Open the command prompt on your computer.
2. Type "tracert" followed by the IP address you want to trace.
3. Press enter.

Tracert will then begin sending packets to the target IP address and display the results in the command prompt window.

• The first IP address in the list is usually your local router.
• The last IP address in the list is the target IP address.
• The time it takes for each packet to reach its destination is measured in milliseconds (ms).
• If a packet takes a long time to reach its destination, it could indicate network latency or congestion.
