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 are occurring.
The Trace Route window allows a user to test a connection at the network layer (part of the IP protocol), between the mobile computer
and any place on the network.
To open the Trace Route window, tap Trace Route in the Wireless Diagnostics window. The Trace Route window dispalys.
Figure 7-39. Trace Route Window
A user can enter an IP address or a DNS Name in the IP combo box, and tap Start Test. The IP combo box should match the same
information as shown in the ICMP Ping window’s IP combo box. When a test is started, the trace route attempts to find all routers
between the mobile computer and the destination. The Round Trip Time (RTT) between the mobile computer and each router is shown,
and then the total test time is also shown. The total test time may be longer than all RTTs added together because it is not just
including time on the network.
