The traceroute is a command-line tool that comes pre-installed with Linux and a few other operating systems. Understanding traceroute and the ping command is a must if you want to understand problems like packet loss and high latency. If there is an issue when connecting to an IP\/website, traceroute can show us where the problem is.\u00a0It gives a listing of all the router hops between your computer and a web server. This helps you verify that the routing over the networks in between is correct and quickly determine whether you need to contact your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rosehosting.com\/contact-us.html\">Live Support<\/a> team.<!--more--><\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_65 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-transparent ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<label for=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-item-662cea66a8b08\" class=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-label\"><span class=\"ez-toc-cssicon\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/label><input type=\"checkbox\"  id=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-item-662cea66a8b08\"  aria-label=\"Toggle\" \/><nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rosehosting.com\/blog\/use-traceroute-to-identify-network-problems-in-linux\/#1-How-Traceroute-Works\" title=\"1.

How Traceroute Works<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>When you are connecting to a website, the traffic needs to go through a few intermediaries before reaching the website. It goes through the local router, the ISP\u2019s routers, trough larger networks until the final destination is reached.<\/p>\n<p>This tool shows you the path that the traffic takes to reach the website. It also displays every delay that happens at each stop. If there are issues reaching the website and that particular website is working fine, it might be possible that there is a problem on the path between the computer and the website\u2019s servers. This tool would show you where that problem is. Because traceroute requests depend on responses to ICMP requests, some hops on the route may drop requests in favor of higher-priority network traffic.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2-How-to-Use-Traceroute-Command-in-Linux\"><\/span>2.

The first line is showing your home router (assuming you have a router), the following lines represent your ISP, and further down each line represents a router that\u2019s further away.<\/p>\n<p>The format of each line is as follows:<\/p>\n<pre>Hop RTT1 RTT2 RTT3 Domain Name [IP Address]<\/pre>\n<p>Here is what each field means:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Hop Number: Each time a packet is passed between a router, this is referred to as a \u201chop.\u201d For example, in the results above, you can see that it takes 12 hops to reach Rose Hosting servers from our current location.<\/li>\n<li>RTT1, RTT2, RTT3: This is the round trip time (RTT) that it takes for your packet to reach that point and return to your computer (milliseconds). This is often referred to as latency, and it&#8217;s the same number you see while using ping. Traceroute is sending three packets to each hop and displays the each time, so you can see how consistent or inconsistent the latency is. If you see a (*) in some of the columns, you haven\u2019t received a response, which indicates packet loss.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Domain Name [IP Address]: If available, the domain name can often show you the location of a router. If this is not available, you will see only the IP address of the router.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>With traceroute, you can get a sense as to which servers on your way to a specific domain or\u00a0 IP address are causing problems.<\/p>\n<p>Now you should be able to use the tracert command and understand its output.<\/p>\n<p>If you have any questionson\u00a0How to use traceroute in Linux,\u00a0 feel free to comment below or sign up for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rosehosting.com\/hosting-services.html\">our hosting services<\/a> and contact our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rosehosting.com\/support.html\">EPIC Support Team<\/a>.
