TRACEROUTE

HOW CAN I SEE THE ROUTE MY DATA USES TO GET TO A LOCATION?

The answer is to use the trace route command.

On Windows, open a terminal and

• Type the command tracert tsn.ca where tsn.ca could be any website or IP address.

You will now see the list of IP addresses via which your data passes through to get to the destination.

On a MAC, open a terminal window and

• Type the command traceroute tsn.ca where tsn.ca could be any website or IP address.

On a Chromebook, open a terminal and

• Type in the command tracepath tsn.ca where tsn.ca could be any website.
