source address. At the same time, we know the time it takes the network packet to reach the
gateway. This is very useful for network analysis.
2. Traceroute example where some gateways in a network are not connected:

18 202.108.37.42 48 msec 48 msec 52 msec
From the above result, we can know clearly the following information: To access the host
with an IP address of 202.108.37.42 the network packet passes gateways 1 to 17 from the
source address and there is failure in gateway 4.
