Trace Route Window

Trace Route

traces a packet from a computer to a host, showing how many hops the packet requires to reach

the host and how long each hop takes. The

Trace Route

utility identifies where the longest delays occur.

The

Trace Route

window allows testing a connection at the network layer (part of the IP protocol) between the

EDA and any place on the network.

To open the

Trace Route

window, tap

Trace Route

in the

Wireless Diagnostics

window.

Trace Route Window

Enter an IP address or a DNS Name in the IP combo box, and tap

Start Test

. The IP combo box should match

the information shown in the

ICMP Ping

window’s IP combo box. When starting a test, the trace route attempts

to find all routers between the EDA and the destination. The Round Trip Time (RTT) between the EDA and
each router appears, along with the total test time. The total test time may be longer than all RTTs added
together because it does not only include time on the network.
