FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about the Traceroute.
What is traceroute?
Traceroute shows the network path from our server to a destination, listing each hop (router) with its IP and response time. It helps diagnose where latency or connectivity issues occur.
Why do some hops show timeouts?
Some routers are configured to not respond to traceroute probes. This is normal and does not necessarily indicate a problem — the path continues past them.
How is this different from ping?
Ping measures round-trip time to a single destination. Traceroute shows every intermediate hop along the way, helping you pinpoint exactly where latency is introduced.
