Ubuntu – the equivalent of the “tracert” DOS command

networkingsoftware-recommendation

tracert is a command in MS-DOS command prompt to trace the route to an IP Address.
Is there any command in the Gnome Terminal equivalent to this?

Install the traceroute package via terminal by running:

sudo apt-get install traceroute

After that, type this in the terminal:

traceroute [ip/web-site domain]

For example:

traceroute 8.8.8.8

you can also use web-sites as well:

traceroute www.sitename.com
