Examples of traceroute usage.

Let’s have some fun with traceroute! We’ll inspect a few routes to different internet destinations and try to see if we can map them into physical space.

Could you please explain what the time numbers are for? Is it how long for packets take to get to a router?

Thanks, Geoff... I discovered this as part of onboarding curriculum at a company I joined. Been in IT for 25+ yrs so I am somewhat familiar with the concepts, which is why I wondering if you got the translation backwards at 1:32... my understanding is that one of the first steps is to translate the destination name to an address using a DNS lookup and so tracert is not translating the address to the hostname but has already done vice versa before anything else

Well, i'm in love with this lesson.
I'm having an issue while trying to stream to restream.io

The traceroute shows * * * on hop 8, 9, 13, 14.
They said only my ISP can fix that, hopefully the technician will be 1% as good as you.

Hi,
I have a few windows machines with a few virtualbox machines on. The windows machines gets their IP’s from the router with DHCP. The virtual machines are in “bridge adapter” mode, they gets the IP’s from the router as well.

Is there a way to find on which windows machine is hosted one virtual machine, if I know all windows IP’s to who belongs?

I tried to traceroute the virtual machine IP, but I see only the router hop, not the windows machine IP before the router?
Thank you.

Hi Geoffrey! Thank you very much for this video. I would like to ask you a question respectfully, if I was using traceroute to debug a path, what would happen to the testing ICMP packets if the path contained a cycle? Is this possible? Would the packets be caught in a loop? How could I fix it? Thank you very much in advance for your response. Andria.

You did not explain why traceroute -q 1. Thank you anyway.
