What is a traceroute?
Print
Traceroute is a utility that records the route through the Internet between
your computer and a destination computer. It also calculates the amount of time
it takes for data to get to each stop along the way to the destination.
The movement of data from one stop to another along the way is called a
"hop."
If your data i having problems going to or from our servers, it could be at
any point along this journey. That's why we run the traceroute: so we can
pinpoint where the problem is.
