It determines the number of hops (intermediate routers or network devices) between your computer and the target domain (e.g., <strong>google.com<\/strong>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How <code>tracert<\/code> Works:<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>When you run <code>tracert google.com<\/code> in the <strong>Command Prompt<\/strong>, your computer sends a series of <strong>ICMP (Internet Control Message Protocol) Echo Requests<\/strong> to Google\u2019s servers.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Each request starts with a <strong>Time-To-Live (TTL)<\/strong> value, beginning at 1 and increasing with each packet.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Every router or device along the way decrements the TTL by 1. When TTL reaches 0, the router responds with a <strong>&#8220;Time Exceeded&#8221;<\/strong> message.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><code>tracert<\/code> records these responses, showing the IP address, domain (if available), and response time for each hop.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>This continues until the packets successfully reach <strong>google.com<\/strong>, and the final response is received.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Why is <code>tracert<\/code> Useful?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Identifies the number of hops<\/strong> between your computer and a destination.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Troubleshoots network latency issues<\/strong> by showing where delays occur.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Detects connection problems<\/strong> such as timeouts or unreachable hosts.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Helps analyze routing paths<\/strong> to optimize network performance.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Example Output:<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>Tracing route to google.com &#91;142.250.191.78]\nover a maximum of 30 hops:\n\n  1     2 ms     1 ms     1 ms  192.168.1.1\n  2    12 ms    10 ms    11 ms  10.0.0.1\n  3    25 ms    23 ms    22 ms  203.0.113.1\n  4    30 ms    28 ms    29 ms  google.com &#91;142.250.191.78]\n\nTrace complete.\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Thus, <strong><code>tracert google.com<\/code><\/strong> is the correct command to find the number of hops.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>google.com In a Windows environment, what command would you use to find how many hops are required to reach google.com?
