Trace Route displays various statistics about the communication path between your computer and another network host. The program provides the standard information of tools of this sort (intermediary IP addresses and response times). It performs reverse look up of hostnames and continuously "pings&quot\; each hop to display response time. Trace Route also reports device types (such as, Cisco, 3Com, Bay Networks, or HP) and system names via SNMP when used on corporate Intranets. You can vary Trace Route's speed (to accommodate a slow dial-up connection) and/or limit the number of hops ("Maximum TTL").
