the source device to the destination device, so to check the network accessibility and locate
the network failure.
Execution procedure of the Traceroute command consists of: first a data packet with TTL at 1
is sent to the destination address, if the first hop returns an ICMP error message to inform this
packet can not be sent (due to TTL timeout), a data packet with TTL at 2 will be sent. Also the
send hop may be a TTL timeout return, but the procedure will carries on till the data packet is
sent to its destination. These procedures is for recording every source address which returned
ICMP TTL timeout message, so to describe a path the IP data packets traveled to reach the
