This can speed up the return of results. Specifies the maximum number of hops in the path to search for the target destination. The default is 30 hops. With loose source routing, successive intermediate destinations can be separated by one or multiple routers.
The maximum number of addresses or names in the list is 9. I have figured out how to use the. NET Ping class to do the tracing. What I do not understand is what the numbers reported by the command line utility are. This is somewhat censored results of a "tracert yahoo.
The first column is the index and the next three columns are times in milliseconds. I have searched the web for an explanation and have come up dry.
I thought that they might be min, average, and max numbers but line 2 would seem to counter that idea. I looked at Wikipedia for this one - three packets are sent, the milliseconds reported are for each packet. Tracert sends sets of pings to the destination. The first set has a time-to-live TTL of one. The TTL setting of one causes the first router to send an error message back to your computer. The program then increments the TTL and sends another set of pings to retrieve the next router's information.
This process is repeated until the end point is reached. The first column is the number of hops to the destination maximum of The next three columns are the amounts of time to receive the responses. The right-most column shows the router information along the path. If I remember right, tracert does three pings actually not pings to the device, but effectively the same to each device along the route and the the three times are just three different ping times to each device.
For example, if you find a device in the list with one or more timeouts, that device is probably overloaded and causing the problems. Basically, tracert send 3 packets to each hop. Example: tracert Output. NOTES: can be pressed to stop the traceroute. This is perfectly normal. The first line of the tracert output describes what the command is doing.
It lists the destination system example. The remainder of the output shows information on each hop, which is typically a router, in the path between the sender and the final destination.
What is most important is the physical distance the packet travels and how it moves between ISPs on the Internet. In this example, the traffic traverses this route:.
Look at Hop 4 below to get familiar with the type of information shown for each hop. Example: Hop Hop number : The specific hop number in the path from the sender to the destination.
By default, tracert sends three packets to each hop, so the output lists three roundtrip times per hop. RTT is sometimes also referred to as latency. An important factor that may impact RTT is the physical distance between hops. Many times the FQDN may provide an indication of where the hop is physically located. Example Hop 2 :. How do you know if the values for RTT are normal or if they indicate a potential problem?
You need to look at the overall picture depicted in your output. The following section describes several trends that can occur.
Continue reading to learn how to examine the command output for trends, and help isolate possible issues. Many applications work just fine with latencies even higher than that, but for sites that are US-based they should fall below ms and usually are Latency over an uncongested network is primarily dependent on the physical fiber distance between the source your PC and the destination e. If the source and destination are thousands of miles apart, average latency values of ms are acceptable as communication is limited by the speed of light over the entire physical fiber distance.
