Tracert vs Traceroute In 60 Seconds | Windows & Linux Command Tutorial

Описание: Want to trace the exact path your internet packets take across the web? 🌐
In this short, I’ll show you how to use tracert on Windows and traceroute on Linux — step by step!
Learn how to set it up, what each line means, and how to analyze delays or routing issues. Perfect for beginners in networking or CCNA students! ⚡

🧠 Setup

Windows:
1️⃣ Open Command Prompt
2️⃣ Type ➜ tracert google.com

Linux (Debian, Ubuntu, Kali, etc):

sudo apt install traceroute
traceroute google.com

💻 Command Options Explained (Line by Line)

Windows – tracert Options

tracert -d google.com # Skip hostname lookup (faster)
tracert -h 20 google.com # Limit max hops to 20
tracert -w 2000 google.com # Set timeout per reply (in ms)
tracert -4 google.com # Force IPv4
tracert -6 google.com # Force IPv6


Linux – traceroute Options

traceroute -I google.com # Use ICMP (like Windows)
traceroute -T google.com # Use TCP packets
traceroute -n google.com # Show IPs only, no DNS names
traceroute -m 20 google.com # Limit to 20 hops
traceroute -w 2 google.com # Wait 2 seconds for reply


Each line in output shows:

Hop Number: order of routers along the path

IP or Hostname: of that router

Round Trip Time (RTT): how long packets took to get there

Use this to spot delays, routing loops, or unreachable hops! 🚀
