So, what is Trace Route?
Trace Route can used in order to test your network connectivity.
Traceroute sends a packet of data to the host you specify in the traceroute
query and tracks progress along the way.
Traceroute tells you the hostnames of the routers which connect our network to the
destination host.
Traceroute reports the time a packet takes to get through each router
along the path.
