4. Ping.
5. Traceroute.

Explain how traceroute works in detail?


Click for Pr
1. Firstly, traceroute creates a UDP packet from the source to destination with a TTL value of 1.
2. Packet reaches the first router where the router decrements the value of TTL by 1, making packet’s TTL value

0 because of which the packet gets dropped.

3. As the packet gets dropped, it sends an ICMP message Hop/Time exceeded back to the source.
Answers Version
4. This is how traceroute comes to know the first router’s address and the time taken for the round-trip.
5. It sends two more packets in the same way to get average round-trip time. First, round-trip takes longer than 5$

the other two due to the delay in ARP finding the physical address, the address stays in the ARP cache during the
second and the third time and hence the process speeds up.
6. These steps take place again and again until the destination has been reached. The only change that happens is
that the TTL is incremented by 1 when the UDP packet is to be sent to the next router/host.
7. Once the destination is reached, time exceeded ICMP message is not sent back this time because the
destination has already been reached.
8. But, the UDP packet used by traceroute specifies the destination port number that is not usually used for UDP.
So, when the destination verifies the headers of the UDP packet, the packet gets dropped because of an improper
port being used and an ICMP message Destination Unreachable is sent back to the source.
9. When traceroute encounters this message, it understands that the destination is reached. Also, The
destination is reached 3 times to get the average round-trip time.

Why there are three columns in traceroute results? Click for Pre

Three probes (change with -q flag) are sent at each TTL setting and a line ***is printed showing the TTL, the
address of the gateway and round trip time of each probe( so three * ).
