Traceroute
Over traceroute you can see the data path between two servers in the internet.
Traceroute lists all servers, which are between the respective traceroute-server
and the destination adress.
Ping
Ping is an application of the ICMP (Internet Control Message Protocol RFC 792).
This protocol (also a component of the IP protocol) transfers different
administative information and can therefor also be used for fault-tracing. If the
ping signal meets an object, its reflection (echo) can be received again from the
appropriate transmitter. So ping can find out whether the IP address is active (if a
connection could be established) and how fast it is.
For Windows systems you type „ping IP-Adress“ on the command shell.
For Linux systems you type„ping –s IP-Adress” on the command line.
For Solaris systems you type„ping –s IP-Adresse 32“ on the command line.
