0.00% packet loss
round-trip min/avg/max = 1/11/53 ms
The principle of ping –r is as shown in Figure 1.
1. The source (Device A) sends an ICMP echo request with the RR option being empty to the
destination (Device C).
2. The intermediate device (Device B) adds the IP address (1.1.2.1) of its outbound interface to the RR
option of the ICMP echo request, and forwards the packet.
3. Upon receiving the request, the destination device copies the RR option in the request and adds the
IP address (1.1.2.2) of its outbound interface to the RR option. Then the destination device sends
an ICMP echo reply.
4. The intermediate device adds the IP address (1.1.1.2) of its outbound interface to the RR option in
the ICMP echo reply, and then forwards the reply.
5. Upon receiving the reply, the source device adds the IP address (1.1.1.1) of its inbound interface
to the RR option. Finally, get the detailed information of routes from Device A to Device C: 1.1.1.1
<-> {1.1.1.2; 1.1.2.1} <-> 1.1.2.2.
Tracert
Introduction
You can use the tracert command to trace the Layer 3 devices involved in delivering an IP packet from
source to destination to check whether a network is available. This is useful for identification of failed
nodes in the event of network failure.
