Traceroute Test
What is a Traceroute Test?
A traceroute test is a diagnostic test used to troubleshoot network, connectivity, and latency issues. The traceroute test traces the path of a network packet from the origin location through each node, or host, the packet passes through until it reaches the destination IP address. The traceroute test can assist network and website administrators to quickly identify potential network issues and begin the process of troubleshooting exactly where the issue is occurring. For example, it is possible that the issue is with a third-party host so that helps administrators rule out any internal network issues.
Traceroute can be used to identify problems related to the operation of a computer network, as well as to explore the network. For example, to determine the structure of the network, to search for intermediate network nodes, etc.

Traceroute Test Summary Report
The traceroute test results will show you where packets have successfully, or unsuccessfully, passed through each host or network hop. Additionally, errors such as an ICMP 401 Request timeout, for example, or where packet loss occurred, will be shown by hovering over the network hop. For additional information, you can select the Table View to see individual host metrics, such as minimum, maximum, average response times, in addition to any errors that occurred during the traceroute test.
