How Ping and Tracert support network diagnostics

Ping verifies connectivity and response time; Tracert traces the path of a message to a remote computer.

  1. 1

    Administrator runs ping/tracert from command prompt

  2. 2

    Ping sends echo requests; Tracert sends packets with increasing TTL values

  3. 3

    Responses reveal connectivity, response time, and router path

  4. 4

    Administrator diagnoses and fixes connectivity issues

Ping and Tracert are Internet utility programs. Ping sends echo requests to verify a connection between a client and a TCP/IP network and reports the server response time. Tracert traces the path of a message from the client to a remote computer by showing each router along the way. Together they help administrators keep e-commerce sites reachable and diagnose network problems.
