Traceroute (tracert) Explained - Network Troubleshooting

What is traceroute? Traceroute (tracert) is a command line utility that is used in networking to show the route that is taken by data packets as they travel across the internet to their destination. It's a tool used to troubleshoot networking problems.

Next video idea. Subnet Mask

[@hn3923]

Keep up the good work mate. Its by far the best IT channel on youtube. I have learned so much from your amazing videos. Please keep the videos coming in! :)

[@lateefadewumi8601]

Got you. Nice job thanks for being there

[@nigam7465]

very nice. hope you create ccna videos

[@tndewandono]

Please explain about Massive MIMO

[@JSmith-nu4bl]

Protect this channel at all costs.

[@isaacfoster2820]

Does tracert work on vpn addresses?

[@amandeeprai7375]

😊true

[@KennethFromSkarpt]

My professor had a four hour lecture on traceroute, you just explained it much clearer in 9 minutes. Well done.

[@ogunsadebenjaminadeiyin2729]

😂

[@busybusiness9121]

Because geniuses won't need any recognition from anyone.

[@TheJCEguy]

I agree more videos plz 🥺👉🏽👈🏽

[@hokopl]

Yes, but probably within that 4 hours You have learned tracert in much more detail. It`s like comparing 9 min video to 20 pages of Cisco material. Go and watch from this channel all networking materials, and try to pass CCNA exam :)

[@Conviction454]

How do you spend 5 hours explaining this lol

[@toriqulislamshimanto]

You explained way easier than books !!!

[@Void84276]

What I love the most about these videos is I already know so much about them, but I'll always find little bits here and there that I never knew.

[@madyogi6164]

As an IT guy, watching just for entertainment and killing Sunday breakfast time... Nicely done vid!

[@igorthelight]

Same! Great explanation tho :-)

[@ahmad-murery]

I never read or watched a better explanation than this, This channel is amazingly helpful. Thanks

[@PowerCertAnimatedVideos]

Glad you think so!

[@teomcam]

KZbin should consider itself honoured by having this channel on its platform. Remarkable

[@TheJCEguy]

You literally make more sense in less than 30 minutes than my professors do in an entire semester 😭

[@csl9495]

God damn, this channel is the best! No fluff just straight to the point. I feel like learning is so effortless watching these videos, where as others my mind starts to wander.

[@bahmanalipoor10]

The only channel and instructor that explains each lesson with 100% clarity that is understandable to everybody. love it.

[@damaliamarsi2006]

One thing to add is that the way it determines the hops is by sending a ping with the TTL (Time To Live) set to 1 to the destination. The first hop decrements the TTL to 0 and sends an ICMP TTL exceeded message. The host then sends another ping with the TTL set to 2 so the second hop will send the ICMP(Internet Control Message Protocol) TTL exceeded message. Wash rince repeat until destination is reached or the max hop count is reached (default is 30) The messages do not start with the TTL set to 30, that is just what the program will limit the maximum TTL to by default. IE if you do -H 4 it still will send the first ping with a TTL of 1 so that the first hop will decrement and send the ICMP TTL exceeded message. Then 2 3 and 4 so the trace route will end at the fourth hop. If intersted according to RFC 792 the type/code of TTL exceeded is Type 11 Code 0. IMHO this video would be much better with a wireshark capture of a real tracerroute showing the TTL exceeded and the ICMP TTL exceeded messages; however, I get that this is just a basic introduction. Sorry this is so long.

[@goblin_mode138]

Your comment plus this video have saved me many hours of work and research to build my own traceroute for a course. I don't know why my college can't use plain language explanations and simple but descriptive videos... anyway thank you so much!

[@kuqezi8081]

Your content is highly appreciated! Keep up the great work sir.

[@PowerCertAnimatedVideos]

Much appreciated!

[@PeterCoder02]

Honestly, you are one of the best online networking tutorials that I am looking for. You explained simply and included clearly images that gave me ease of understanding. Thanks a lot. Best wishes for you.

[@saj561]

You deserve to be spread every corner of the world. Love your clarity of knowledge man.

[@mad-s7203]

This is how every lecturer and teachers should teach. You're doing a great job sir, keep it up. Im the first student if you open a training institute.

[@anujgupta3397]

You should make videos everyday, I just can't get enough of it. I can watch your channel non stop for hours. Well done dude

[@alexisflores5329]

Love your channel! Started my Bachelors in Cybersecurity, and your content is exactly what I need to learn about networks and all the details.

[@flipmode916]

The leader in explaining information! Thank you

[@RishabhKanojia]

Saw you first video about few months back, and now I am a fan. Thank god you exist.

[@DanBrianGerona]

I don't know how I ended up here, but I'm glad KZbin brought me here. Your videos not only gave me refresher info but also brought back so many memories from the past. Gonna binge watch the entire channel. Thank you so much for these videos. I'm sure students today will greatly benefit from all of these.

[@nkb3333]

As someone said that if you can explain this to 15 year old. This is the best explanation of any topics which i came across in my life.

[@zainabbas6206]

This video series helped me to pass my a+ 1001 exam yesterday i scored 796 out of 900 just wanted to say thank you so much this is such a good channel the way how you describe the content in a easy way really helped once again thank you.

[@PowerCertAnimatedVideos]

Nice. Congrats. Thanks :)

[@zeb9302]

In only nine minutes I went from never even having heard of Traceroute, to understanding it and testing it my own computer. Cool!

[@michelangelop3923]

Your videos have helped me a lot, the next year I'm getting in uni for a cs degree to get into it and then become a sysadmin, your videos have been a great help, thanks a lot and keep up with the great job!

[@nathanbenton2051]

i’m calling this now. youtube’s gonna release it’s own centralized version of college

[@igorthelight]

"centralized " is a bad idea. That it's main strength that it's highly decentralized - that means that it's not controlled by a single entity.

[@joetylerdale]

This channel and Virtual Railfan Grab Bags are the only channels I look forward to the minute they come out. That You for educating, entertaining and outstanding videos!

[@MB-jz4wq]

You are a certified Tech Angel! Thank you so much for simplifying Networking concepts/technology. You are a legend in the making. Much Blessings to you!

[@anastasiskarlis1282]

Such a simple a nice explanation. This channel is a gem.

[@user-fd3od6bj5i]

Your channel chaged my life ❤

[@hardikkvyas5]

This channel has all the details that can understand by little child. Awesome 👏

[@deanrhodenizer938]

Thanks, great video IMO. You chose your words carefully when you said that traceroute reports the path TO the destination. In my experience, it does not always follow the the same path gets used for the return trip as is always shown in the animation. Sometimes, it is useful to have someone on the other end doing a traceroute in the opposite direction to detect slowdowns.

[@zOrg89]

My brain craves for more content like this, keep up the good work! :)

[@itsprudhvirazz]

wow 2 topics in a row on this channel. awesome.
