Visual Traceroute Tool
Trace network routes with visual path mapping, hop-by-hop latency analysis, and geographic visualization for comprehensive network diagnostics.
What is Traceroute?
Traceroute is a network diagnostic tool that tracks the path packets take from your computer to a destination server, showing each intermediate router (hop) along the way.
Understanding the Results
Each hop represents a router that forwards your packets. Lower latency (response time) is better. High latency or packet loss at specific hops can indicate network congestion or issues.
Latency Interpretation
- < 20ms: Excellent (usually local/regional)
- 20-50ms: Good (national traffic)
- 50-100ms: Acceptable (international traffic)
- > 100ms: High latency (may affect performance)
Note
If a hop times out, it may be due to firewall rules, ICMP rate limiting, or network policies. This is common and doesn’t always indicate a failure.
About Traceroute
Traceroute is a network diagnostic tool that displays the route packets take across an IP network. It helps identify network bottlenecks, routing issues, and connection problems by showing each hop along the path.
