Traceroute is an application that traces the path data takes from one computer to another. Basically a traceroute is a map that shows what stops or locations that data must pass through in order to go from one computer to another. This is a very effective troubleshooting tool when diagnosing connectivity issues from one server to another. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
