networks. This feature is not available in the basic configuration and
should be ordered additionally. The utility sends sequence of datagramms
to a specified network host, and registers data about all intermediate
routers that sent datagramms passed through during transmission. Thus,
Traceroute utility allows the diagnostics of all intermediate network
equipment on a data transmission path.

will be selected automatically.

IP address: Enter the IP address of the tested host.

Max hops: Enter the maximum number of routers from which the
packets can be transmitted through.
