Ping and Trace Route

Ping sends out an echo request to a specific computer on the network. It can be used to check communication links or to check whether the specific host exists or is running.

Trace route allows you to determine the path a packet is taking across the Internet. It looks up each machine along the path to a destination host and displays the corresponding name and IP address for that hop. Next to the host name is the number of milliseconds to get to that host.
