What is the Purpose of This Test

  • Displays path and nodes to destination from Edge interface.
  • Measures transit delays of packets at each hop across an Internet Protocol (IP) network.

When Can You Run This Test

Run this test in parallel with the PING test to understand routing or network reachability issues. For instructions, see Run Remote Diagnostic Tests on Edges.

What to Check in the Test Output

Run the Traceroute test on the required Edge. Following is an example of the test output:
  • Verify if the Destination IP address is seen as last hop.
  • To measure transit delay, check the time (ms) which is displayed next to the IP address.
  • If the Destination IP address is not seen, check the last hop seen for route reachability to both source and destination to resolve the routing issue.
