Do you need to know what path the queries take to your domain? Then, here comes the Traceroute command. Let’s see how this software can trace the route of queries and why this information is so useful.
Traceroute command – Definition
Traceroute command is software with CLI (command-line interface) that you can find inside most of the popular operating systems (Windows, macOS, Linux, BSD, and more) and serves to check the route from your device to a destination (domain name or IP address).
The Traceroute traces the route to the target by sending queries, waiting to get the results, and showing you statistics about the package delivery. You will know what time the packages take to get to the end destination and if there were lost packages.
