# Linux traceroute Command [ Linux Command Manual](#) The Linux traceroute command is used to display the path packets take to reach a host. The traceroute command allows you to track the routing path of network packets. The default packet size is 40 Bytes, but users can set it differently. ### Syntax traceroute [-g...] **Parameter Description**: * -d Use socket-level debugging. * -f Set the initial Time To Live (TTL) for the first probe packet. * -F Set the Don't Fragment (DF) bit. * -g Specify a source route gateway, up to 8 can be specified. * -i Use the specified network interface to send packets. * -I Use ICMP Echo instead of UDP data messages. * -m Set the maximum Time To Live (TTL) for probe packets. * -n Display numeric IP addresses instead of hostnames. * -p Set the UDP port for the transport protocol. * -r Ignore the normal routing table and send packets directly to the remote host. * -s Set the source IP address for outgoing packets. * -t Set the Type of Service (TOS) value for probe packets. * -v Verbose output, showing the execution process of the command. * -w Set the time to wait for a response from the remote host. * -x Enable or disable packet correctness verification. ### Example Display the packet route to the destination # traceroute www.google.com traceroute: Warning: www.google.com has multiple addresses; using 66.249.89.99 traceroute to www.l.google.com (66.249.89.99), 30 hops max, 38 byte packets 1 192.168.0.1 (192.168.0.1) 0.653 ms 0.846 ms 0.200 ms 2 118.250.4.1 (118.250.4.1) 36.610 ms 58.438 ms 55.146 ms 3 222.247.28.177 (222.247.28.177) 54.809 ms 39.879 ms 19.186 ms 4 61.187.255.253 (61.187.255.253) 18.033 ms 49.699 ms 72.147 ms 5 61.137.2.177 (61.137.2.177) 32.912 ms 72.947 ms 41.809 ms 6 202.97.46.5 (202.97.46.5) 60.436 ms 25.527 ms 40.023 ms 7 202.97.35.69 (202.97.35.69) 40.049 ms 66.091 ms 44.358 ms 8 202.97.35.110 (202.97.35.110) 42.140 ms 70.913 ms 41.144 ms 9 202.97.35.14 (202.97.35.14) 116.929 ms 57.081 ms 60.336 ms 10 202.97.60.34 (202.97.60.34) 54.871 ms 69.302 ms 64.353 ms 11 * * *12 209.85.255.80 (209.85.255.80) 95.954 ms 79.844 ms 76.052 ms MPLS Label=385825 CoS=5 TTL=1 S=013 209.85.249.195 (209.85.249.195) 118.687 ms 120.905 ms 113.936 ms 14 72.14.236.126 (72.14.236.126) 115.843 ms 137.109 ms 186.491 ms 15 nrt04s01-in-f99.1e100.net (66.249.89.99) 168.024 ms 140.551 ms 161.127 ms [ Linux Command Manual](#)
