What's the tracert command? TRACERT command detailed

If there is a network connectivity problem, you can use the tracert command to check the path of the destination IP address that arrives and record the results. The tracert command displays a set of IP routers that are used to pass packets from the computer to the target location, and the time required for each hop . If the packet cannot be delivered to the target, the tracert command displays the last router that successfully forwarded the packet. The tracert command can be used to track the routes (paths) used by datagrams when datagrams are routed from our computer through multiple gateways to destinations. The path that the utility tracks is a path from the source computer to the destination, and there is no guarantee or belief that the datagram always follows this path. If our configuration uses DNS, we often get the names of cities, addresses, and common communications companies from the resulting responses. Tracert is a slow-running command (if we specify a target address that is far away), we need to give it about 15 seconds per router.

The use of tracert is very simple, only after tracert with an IP address or url,tracert will be the corresponding domain name conversion.

　　The most common use of tracert:

Tracert IP Address [-d] This command returns the list of routers that have passed through the IP addresses. By using the-D option, the router path is displayed more quickly because Tracert does not attempt to resolve the name of the router in the path.

Tracert generally used to detect the location of the fault, we can use tracert IP in which link out of the problem, although still not sure what is the problem, but it has told us where the problem is, we can be very confident to tell others----So-and-so place out of the problem.
