Traceroute Description

Traceroute is a lightweight software application whose sole purpose is to help you check the transit delays of packets from your computer to a certain user-defined host. Since this is a portable program, it is important to mention that it doesn’t leave any traces in the Windows Registry. You can copy it on any USB flash drive or other devices, and take it with you whenever you need to perform traceroute operations on the breeze, without having to go through installation steps. Traceroute sports a clean and simplistic layout that allows you to set up the dedicated parameters with just a few clicks. Basically, it proves to be extremely easy to work with this tool, as you only need to specify the host name and click on the “Start” button, and it automatically provides details about the IP address and elapsed time. Additionally, you can clear the entire information with just one click. Since it doesn’t require much computer knowledge to configure the settings, even rookies can master the entire process with minimum effort. On the downside, professional users may find it pretty inconvenient to work with a tool that doesn’t offer support for advanced functions for helping you specify the number of queries to send per hop, response time, and port to use. During our testing we have noticed that Traceroute carries out a task quickly and without errors throughout the entire process. It doesn’t eat up a lot of CPU and memory, so the overall performance of the computer is not hampered. As a conclusion, Traceroute seems to be the right choice in case you are looking for an easy-to-use application that comes bundled with limited features for helping you accomplish traceroute operations.
