The traceroute command displays information on the route IPv4/IPv6 packets. You can use this command to determine the path of an IPv4/IPv6 query. This command provides information on the path packets travel and the time it takes to reach the IPv4/IPv6 destination address.

Syntax

traceroute {hostname | ip_address} [ opt ]

Argument	Description
`hostname`	Fully qualified domain name
`ip_address`	Valid IPv4/IPv6 address of the host
`opt`	Can be any of the following: `numerical` (specifies to not interpret the IP address as a DNS name) `src_addr` (specifies the starting or "from" address) `ICMP` (specifies to use `ping`) `v6` (specifies IPv6 hostname)
