Map the network path to your servers from 50+ global locations. Identify routing issues, bottlenecks, and network changes.
Comprehensive network path analysis and troubleshooting
See every router and network hop between our probes and your servers. Visualize the complete network path.
Measure latency at each network hop. Identify exactly where delays occur in the network path.
Detect when network paths change. Get alerted about new routes that might affect performance or reliability.
Identify which ISPs and networks your traffic traverses. Understand dependencies on third-party networks.
Run traceroutes from 50+ global locations. See how paths differ based on geography.
Compare current routes with historical data. Identify when and how network paths have changed over time.
Continuous network path analysis
Provide the IP or hostname of your server, CDN, or network device.
Choose which probe locations should trace routes to your destination.
Our probes continuously trace the network path and record every hop.
Receive alerts on path changes and analyze routing patterns over time.
Identify exactly which network hop is causing latency or packet loss. Stop guessing where problems originate.
Catch unexpected route changes that might indicate BGP hijacking or network misconfigurations.
Hold your ISPs accountable with data showing which providers introduce latency into your traffic.
Understand routing to different CDN PoPs and optimize edge server selection for your users.
Common questions about traceroute monitoring
Asterisks indicate that a hop didn't respond within the timeout period. This is common for routers configured to not respond to traceroute probes (ICMP). It doesn't necessarily mean a problem—many ISPs configure routers this way for security.
Traceroute monitoring runs at configurable intervals, typically every 5-15 minutes. Running too frequently can be resource-intensive, and route changes don't happen that often. We alert you when significant changes occur.
Yes! By identifying which hop shows the latency spike or packet loss, you can often determine the responsible ISP or network provider. Reverse DNS lookups on hop IPs typically reveal the owning organization.
Ping measures round-trip time to a destination. Traceroute shows the complete path and latency at each hop. Use ping for quick reachability checks; use traceroute when you need to diagnose where problems occur in the network path.
