traceroute
A (typically Unix) TCP/IP utility which allows the user to determine the route
packets are taking to a particular host. Traceroute works by increasing the
"time to live" value of packets and seeing how far they get, until they reach
the given destination; thus, a lengthening trail of hosts passed through is
built up.
