Traceroute
##################

You can find the Traceroute Tool at **Tools → Traceroute**.

The information is shown in real time in your browser.

With this tool you can display the route and and measure the delay across a network.

Enter the hostname or IP address of the destination and click on **Traceroute** to start.
You can specify the IP Protocol, v4 or v6 and which **source** address shall be used, which uses auto by default.
The **max. TTL** is the time-to-live and represents the maximum number of network hops.
You can also use **ICMP ECHO** instead of UDP datagrams.

A successful result could look like this:
