Sometimes it is not enough to ping the device. Sometimes we want to know what devices is this traffic going through before it reaches its destination.
In such cases tracing the route is very helpful. Ubuntu has relevant command to do this:
user@ubuntu:~$ tracepath <IpAddress/FQDN>
for example
Ip address:
and FQDN example:
As you can see before the packet hits the destination it is going through a set of different type of devices.
This is particularly important during pentesting
