Traceroute Online Tool

This online traceroute tool return traceroute result from Linux server. You can choose from three different technics (IMCP ECHO package, TCP SYN package, UDP package) to do the traceroute query.

Have you noticed that some websites are fast while other websites are slow? It's because some web servers are closed to you (fewer router between web server with you). For example, you visit a website located in China from US, there are more than 10 routers for the traffic to transmit, that means the package has been copied and pasted more than 10 times.

Traceroute is the tool to measure how many routers between two IP Addresses and the latency added on each hup. In addition, you can track the path of the traffic, include how many IPS (Internet service provider) its involved, how many countries it traveled, and what IP Address every router is assigned.

In network management, traceroute tool can be used to get a peek at the tree structure of the network, where does each router directly connect. In High Frequency Trading, speed is everything. Traceroute tool can be used choose the location to set the software to get maximum performance.
