Traceroute diagnostic program. Tracroute is a simple program that can run in any
Internet host. When the user specifies a destination hastname, the program in the source host sends multiple, special packets
toward that destination. As these packets work their way toward the destination, they pass through a series of routers. When
a router receives one of these special packets, it sends a short message back to the source. This message contains thename
and address of the router.
