tracepath 8 iputils-&snapshot; tracepath, tracepath6 traces path to a network host discovering MTU along this path tracepath -n -b -l It traces path to Print primarily IP addresses numerically. Print both of host names and IP addresses.

It is either address of router or word The rest of line shows miscellaneous information about path to the correspinding hetwork hop. As rule it contains value of RTT. Additionally, it can show Path MTU, when it changes. If the path is asymmetric or the probe finishes before it reach prescribed hop, difference between number of hops in forward and backward direction is shown following keyword The last line summarizes information about all the path to the destination, it shows detected Path MTU, amount of hops to the destination and our guess about amount of hops from the destination to us, which can be different when the path is asymmetric. , , .
