Definition: The word "traceroute" refers to a command-line tool used for routing traffic between two or more hosts by tracing the path taken on their network connections during the transmission of data packets. It allows users to simulate various conditions including broken networks, router misconfigurations, and packet loss in order to determine the most efficient path. The word "traceroute" is from Greek and means to trace a journey or route using an Internet routing system. It typically involves sending a series of DNS queries for each destination IP address, which allows you to track the network's route through different hops until it finally reaches its destination.
