Interpretation
Tracerouting is a networking diagnostic tool that reveals the route taken by data packets from a
source device to a destination, typically a website. This process involves identifying each intermediate
network node or hop and measuring the time it takes for data to traverse each hop. The path traced by
data packets is influenced by various factors, including network configurations, server locations, and
internet traffic conditions. Tracerouting is instrumental in identifying and troubleshooting connectivity
issues within network infrastructures.
