Überblick

Traceroute ist ein grundlegendes Netzwerk-Diagnostik-Tool, das die Pfadpakete von Ihrem Computer zu einem Ziel-Host über das Internet oder lokale Netzwerk zurückverfolgt. Es zeigt jeden Zwischenrouter (Hop) entlang des Weges, zeigt latente Messungen und hilft, Netzwerk Engpässe, Routing Probleme und Konnektivität Probleme zu identifizieren.

Schlüsselmerkmale

  • *Path Discovery: Überträgt die komplette Route zu einem Ziel
  • *Hop-by-Hop Analyse: Zeigt jeden Router auf dem Weg
  • *Latency Measurement: Hin- und Rückfahrzeit für jeden Hopfen
  • *Route Fehlerbehebung: identifiziert, wo Pakete verzögert oder fallengelassen werden
  • *Network Topology Mapping: Netzwerkinfrastruktur verstehen
  • Geographic Tracing: geographische Standorte von Hopfen identifizieren
  • *Protocol Support: ICMP, UDP und TCP-Tracing-Optionen
  • *IPv4 und IPv6 Support: Dual-Stack-Netzwerkanalyse

Example traceroute output analysis

traceroute google.com

Sample output:

traceroute to google.com (172.217.12.142), 30 hops max, 60 byte packets

2 10.0.0.1 (10.0.0.1) 15.234 ms 14.567 ms 16.123 ms

3 * * *

4 203.0.113.1 (203.0.113.1) 25.123 ms 24.567 ms 26.234 ms

Analysis interpretation:

echo "Hop 1: Local gateway (1-2ms) - Normal" echo "Hop 2: ISP router (14-16ms) - Normal" echo "Hop 3: Timeouts (*) - Possible firewall or rate limiting" echo "Hop 4: ISP backbone (24-26ms) - Normal"

Common patterns and meanings:

echo "Patterns to look for:" echo "- Sudden latency increase: Bottleneck or geographic distance" echo "- Timeouts (*): Firewall, rate limiting, or router configuration" echo "- Asymmetric routing: Different paths for forward/return traffic" echo "- High jitter: Network congestion or unstable links" ```_

# Compare numeric vs hostname traceroute

time traceroute "$target" >/dev/null 2>&1

Traceroute troubleshooting guide

1. Permission denied errors

echo "Issue: Permission denied when using ICMP" echo "Solution: Use sudo or switch to UDP mode" sudo traceroute -I google.com

or

traceroute -U google.com

2. Firewall blocking traceroute

echo "Issue: Firewalls blocking ICMP or UDP" echo "Solution: Try TCP traceroute" sudo traceroute -T -p 80 google.com sudo traceroute -T -p 443 google.com

3. All hops showing asterisks

echo "Issue: All hops showing timeouts (*)" echo "Solutions:" echo "- Check local firewall settings" echo "- Try different protocols (ICMP, UDP, TCP)" echo "- Verify network connectivity"

Test different protocols

for protocol in "-I" "-U" "-T"; do echo "Testing with protocol $protocol:" timeout 30 sudo traceroute $protocol google.com | head -5 echo "" done

4. Inconsistent results

echo "Issue: Inconsistent traceroute results" echo "Solution: Run multiple traces and compare"

function multiple_traces() { local target=$1 local count=${2:-3}

echo "Running $count traces to $target:"
for i in $(seq 1 $count); do
    echo "Trace $i:"

| traceroute -n "$target" | grep -E "^ *[0-9]+" | awk '{print $1 ": " $2}' | echo "" sleep 2 done }

5. DNS resolution issues

echo "Issue: Slow DNS resolution affecting results" echo "Solution: Use numeric addresses or disable DNS"

Compare with and without DNS

echo "With DNS resolution:" time traceroute google.com >/dev/null 2>&1

echo "Without DNS resolution:" time traceroute -n google.com >/dev/null 2>&1

6. IPv6 vs IPv4 issues

echo "Issue: Different results for IPv4 vs IPv6" echo "Solution: Test both protocols explicitly"

Force IPv4

traceroute -4 google.com

Force IPv6

traceroute -6 google.com

7. Network path changes

echo "Issue: Route changes during trace" echo "Solution: Monitor for route stability"

function monitor_route_stability() { local target=$1 local duration=${2:-300} # 5 minutes local interval=${3:-30} # 30 seconds

echo "Monitoring route stability to $target for $duration seconds..."

local end_time=$(($(date +%s) + duration))
local trace_count=0

while [ $(date +%s) -lt $end_time ]; do
    trace_count=$((trace_count + 1))
    echo "Trace $trace_count at $(date):"

| traceroute -n "$target" | grep -E "^ *[0-9]+" | awk '{print $2}' > "/tmp/route_${trace_count}.txt" |

    # Compare with previous trace
    if [ $trace_count -gt 1 ]; then
        if ! diff "/tmp/route_$((trace_count-1)).txt" "/tmp/route_${trace_count}.txt" >/dev/null; then
            echo "  ⚠ Route change detected!"
            echo "  Previous route:"
            cat "/tmp/route_$((trace_count-1)).txt" | tr '\n' ' '
            echo ""
            echo "  Current route:"
            cat "/tmp/route_${trace_count}.txt" | tr '\n' ' '
            echo ""
        else
            echo "  ✓ Route stable"
        fi
    fi

    sleep $interval
done

# Cleanup
rm -f /tmp/route_*.txt

}

8. High latency troubleshooting

function troubleshoot_high_latency() { local target=$1 echo "Troubleshooting high latency to $target..."

# Check each hop for latency issues

| traceroute -n "$target" | grep -E "^ *[0-9]+" | while read line; do | hop=$(echo "$line" | awk '{print $1}') ip=$(echo "$line" | awk '{print $2}')

    if [[ "$ip" != "*" ]]; then
        # Test latency to this specific hop

| latency=$(ping -c 3 "$ip" 2>/dev/null | tail -1 | awk -F'/' '{print $5}') |

        if [ -n "$latency" ]; then
            if (( $(echo "$latency > 100" | bc -l) )); then
                echo "⚠ High latency at hop $hop ($ip): ${latency}ms"

                # Additional diagnostics
                echo "  Running additional tests..."

                # Test with different packet sizes
                for size in 64 512 1024; do

| test_latency=$(ping -c 1 -s $size "$ip" 2>/dev/null | tail -1 | awk -F'/' '{print $5}') | if [ -n "$test_latency" ]; then echo " ${size} bytes: ${test_latency}ms" fi done fi fi fi done }
