Examples of traceroute usage.

[@rjathar]

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

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

[@gykg3202]

Great explanation thank you so much!!

Now thats a geat lecture! Thanks hiphop dude!

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 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.

he had a prior video I just watched that explained that once a packet is caught in a loop its basically stuck there using system resources to prevent this there is something called a (TTL) TIme to live cycle that most routers have which allows tracert to exploit in turn once that time to live cycle is depleted the packet is thus dropped ..i hope that made sense

@@rockout.jhit2x17 It makes a lot of sense. Thank you very much for your response.

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.
