Trace Route Window
Trace Route
traces a packet from a computer to a host, showing how many hops the packet requires to reach
the host and how long each hop takes. The
Trace Route
utility identifies where the longest delays occur.
The
Trace Route
window allows testing a connection at the network layer (part of the IP protocol) between the
vehicle computer and any place on the network.
To open the
Trace Route
window, tap
Trace Route
in the
Wireless Diagnostics
window.
Figure 4-41 Trace Route Window
Enter an IP address or a DNS Name in the IP combo box, and tap
Start Test
. The IP combo box should match
the information shown in the
ICMP Ping
window’s IP combo box. When starting a test, the trace route attempts
to find all routers between the vehicle computer and the destination. The Round Trip Time (RTT) between the
vehicle computer and each router appears, along with the total test time. The total test time may be longer than
all RTTs added together because it does not only include time on the network.
