dstport

Specifies the destination port,<1-34000>. Default: 33434

maxttl

Specifies the maximum number of hops to reach the destination,<1-255>. Default: 30

probes

Specifies the number of probes,<1-5>. Default: 3

timeout

Specifies the traceroute timeout in seconds,<1-60>. Default: 3 seconds

Usage

Traceroute is a computer network diagnostic tool for displaying the route (path), and measuring transit delays of packets across an Internet Protocol (IP) network. It sends a sequence of User Datagram Protocol (UDP) packets addressed to a destination host. The time-to-live (TTL) value, also known as hop limit, is used in determining the intermediate routers being traversed towards the destination.
