tracepath

Trace the path to a network host discovering MTU along this path. More information: https://manned.org/tracepath.
  • A preferred way to trace the path to a host:
    tracepath -p {{33434}} {{host}}
  • Specify the initial destination port, useful with non-standard firewall settings:
    tracepath -p {{destination_port}} {{host}}
  • Print both hostnames and numerical IP addresses:
    tracepath -b {{host}}
  • Specify a maximum TTL (number of hops):
    tracepath -m {{max_hops}} {{host}}
  • Specify the initial packet length (defaults to 65535 for IPv4 and 128000 for IPv6):
    tracepath -l {{packet_length}} {{host}}
  • Use only IPv6 addresses:
    tracepath -6 {{host}}
