How does traceroute work?

[@IsraelRivera84]

Thank you. This book of mine never explains Traceroute this simply and easy to understand.

[@itsAyndy]

For the past 30 mins, I've just read 5 articles, 3 other videos and only this vid helped me understand the true process of Tracert today. I never comment on TH-cam. Thanks a lot!

[@louellaflores5024]

Can you help me out of this. Still I can't I understand. 😢

[@rakshithv]

@@louellaflores5024 How can I help ya?

Really good man! Helped a lot! keep up the good work

[@abedjarjanazy1178]

Thank you

[@arontesfay2520]

That's clever

[@hasan_shans]

So, when I send a request to google.com it goes through routers. Are they the ordinary routers of people at home or only organizations or service providers?

[@sniffikins649]

did you ever learn the answer to this? because I'm curious, too.

[@naveensoni8507]

Hey,
I have one question, like why does traceroute or tracert gives different results on different network or sometime on same network.
Could you please answer this question.

[@adventureswithdavedave]

could it be that different request go through different network segments
outers based on things like load balancing and network conditions?

[@invictus9915]

honestly this is the most clear and precise video I've watched that explains how tracerout works. really well done.

[@shubhamsoni8622]

best networking lecture I have ever watched, thanks bro

[@MrModzControllers]

I second, third and fourth this statement.

[@Hack_O_Lantern]

This was fantastic! Well spoken and precise. By far the best description on the internet.

[@ajithkumaru]

Excellent explanation

[@MrWinfil]

Bravo man , good explanation , i got this question on job interview i didnt knew the response , but now i know
Thank you

[@RobertFletcherOBE]

Guys its pronounced Tracer T and its for viewing whos on google! Noobs

[@agbaianya2888]

Yo man you're a blessing, I have been struggling material until now 🙏

[@sagar2671]

Great . Hope I was so intelligent like traceroute 😸

[@prathameshbagekari7966]

So the number of hops depends on the latency of a router or an ap?

[@brianl8540]

THAT was helpful! Thanks!

[@FaithReport]

Subscribed..you actually understand what you are talking about in this video. Very helpful!

[@xxvolcomxx56]

I hope you ditched that leather jacket bro

[@ChristoConfido1985]

Brilliant explanation. I assumed TTL was an actual unit of time, such as a minute or second. When I realized it was just an increment/decrement operation, it made complete sense. Thank you.

[@enriquegabriel7708]

Wow. That's a very good video.

[@presidentbiden3707]

wtf do you mean by package

[@TechFreak51]

THANK YOU .... This is what I wanted to know .. right away to the point !!

[@citoxe1]

Awesome explanation

[@Asterisk-]

Great instruction!

[@nullbeyondo]

Thank you.

[@adrianoros4083]

u are the god of traceroute, i am CCNP and i never understood the concept behind tracert well until i first met your vid and in just 6 mins i am good and makes perfect fkin sense, cisco implementation of traceroute does not use true ICMP with TTL set to 1, it uses TTL = 1 with destination UDP port= 33434 mechanism to get the feedback from routers & therefore get the ip

[@fatihcnar3513]

best video ever

Thanks

[@TheFlexXMLG]

Thanks!

[@ciaranflynn6291]

Superb explanation! Why don't they explain like this in University/College...

[@mperu99]

can you explain a bit more detail about when you see the * * * message , like you try to ping something that yo know should be there, but not able to ping now, so you use tracert and your first 5 hops you get a response, then * * * is that mean that switch is the issue?

[@michailwise4102]

Hey I was wondering if you can run this test on an Xbox between a game server? Thanks

[@TPHBLIB]

This is an absolutely gem and kudos to Geoffrey for putting this here. It is a shame that just a 1000 people have watched this. Wonderful Geoff!!! 👍

[@ICDDD]

And what happens when I lead the traffic from the target server to another server? Is this hop included into the traceroute?

[@cindylin5304]

Great explanation! Thanks so much for making these videos :)

Bro you are more better on explaining this compared to my professor

[@domenicofalco8598]

Absolutely brilliant! What an explanation!

[@ifm5678]

how can you find the location of a website,

[@abdulhaphyz]

thanks for making a detailed simple explanation

[@kicsiqki]

Neat explanation. My question is what happens when I run a traceroute, I get to the target address in 9 hops. So I have ten addresses on my scree, address 1 is the first gateway between my modem/router and the target, address 10 is the target.
Address 9 has 100% packet loss even when running a traceroute every 3 seconds for 10 minutes straight, but the target address still has 0% packet loss and a normal ping. If address 9 is down, how can the packets even reach the target? How can I identify address 9? All I get is "No response from host" or "Request timed out", no host name or address is given so I cant even tell what gateway needs to be looked at.

[@freebk161]

100% packet loss; so you are probably getting * instead of a numeric value. This means you are not waiting long enough to fetch the Router information. So Increase the Wait time using the option, -w and number of queries by the option -q .

[@manafro2714]

[@yoshiekidaniel539]

Excellent explanation !

[@Wes_5kyph1]

what layers of the OSI model are hit during a traceroute? can all 7 layers be hit?

[@SripsAKACypher]

Traceroute uses ICMP requests which operate in Layer 3 (Network layer). So only the Network layer and the layers below it, viz., Datalink layer & Physical layer, are covered.

[@benjenkincpa]
